معرفی
Prof. Jørgen Magnus serves as Chair of Bioprocess Engineering at RWTH Aachen University, Germany, with his primary affiliation in the AVT (Aachener Verfahrenstechnik) department under the university's Molecular Science & Engineering (MSE) profile area. He holds a Professor rank and maintains active duties as evidenced by his office location in Research Building NGP2 (Room A-307, Forckenbeckstraße 51, Aachen) and direct contact channels including email jorgen.magnus@avt.rwth-aachen.de.
His research program centers on advancing bioprocess engineering through three interconnected domains: biopharmaceutical manufacturing (viral vectors, CHO cell cultures), fermentation innovation (gas fermentations, microbial strain optimization), and process analytics (real-time monitoring, scale-up methodologies). Key specialties include adeno-associated virus (AAV) production, metabolic engineering of hosts like Vibrio natriegens and Komagataella phaffii, and development of novel sensors for dissolved oxygen, biomass, and metabolite tracking across cultivation systems from microtiter plates to industrial bioreactors.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2024-2025) reveals consistent emphasis on solving industry-critical bottlenecks in biomanufacturing. A dominant trend involves bridging scale gaps—demonstrated in studies translating microtiter plate data to stirred-tank reactors—and stress mitigation in cell cultures (e.g., hydromechanical stress in CHO cells). His work increasingly integrates renewable feedstocks (e.g., syngas, molasses) with real-time analytics to optimize carbon utilization and product yields, reflecting industry shifts toward sustainable, data-driven bioprocessing.
