Modern biotechnology deals with the transfer of knowledge from biological or biochemical systems into technically usable elements. With other words, research results from the test tube need to be adapted and scaled to their industrial production.

New drugs require very cost-intensive testing with respect to their quality, harmlessness and effectiveness in pre-clinical and clinical studies before they become admitted to marketing and use. Advanced simulation models are more and more used to avoid unnecessary test and support the research and development activities of the pharmaceutical industry.

The production of large amounts of food requires a number of different techniques, for example with mechanical (separation), biological (yeast production), chemical (protein coagulation) and thermal (cooling) means presenting an ideal application of advanced simulation tools to understand and further improve these processes.

Thus, all three industry branches are extremely well suited for the incorporation of numerical simulation techniques in the process of research, design of devices and plants and the prediction of the outcome and effectiveness of the processes involved.
