Masterclass Overview

Bioprocess R&D faces increasing pressure: long development cycles, scale-up uncertainties, high costs, and growing data complexity. Digital modelling technologies now offer a decisive competitive advantage by enabling faster, smarter and more reliable industrial biotechnology development.

iMEAN’s advanced modelling platform leverages genome-scale metabolic models, regulatory networks, enzyme kinetics, cellular burden modelling and AI-based predictors to achieve near-90% predictive accuracy for fermentation and biocatalysis performance. These “digital organisms” unlock:

  • Accurate prediction of microorganism behaviour under industrial conditions
  • Full exploitation of OMICS & enzyme biodiversity data
  • Targeted experimental design focusing on the highest-value options
  • Faster, more robust bioprocess design, optimization & scale-up
  • Enhanced decision-making for R&D investment strategies

This Masterclass gives executives and scientists a foundational yet actionable introduction to these technologies through theoretical modules and hands-on simulations.

ABOUT

For more than seven years, iMEAN has developed and delivered cutting-edge biomodelling solutions for industrial clients across the biotech, food, chemical and pharma sectors. With over 130 completed modelling projects, iMEAN offers unparalleled expertise in:
  • Genome-scale metabolic modelling
  • Multi-scale modelling (microbial communities, regulatory networks, kinetics…)
  • OMICS data integration
  • Digital twins for bioprocesses
  • Predictive optimization for industrial R&D

iMEAN empowers R&D teams to design better processes, reduce development time by months, and derive value from their data.

A unique 2-day training to accelerate digital transformation in industrial biotech. Delivered directly by modelling experts from iMEAN – the European leader in biological system simulation.
