abstract = {Chromatography is widely used for the purification of
biopharmaceutical proteins but can be a major cost driver
and time factor during production and process development.
Such costs and time requirements can be limited by the
model-driven optimization of chromatographic separation,
which reduces experimental screening to the most relevant
operational conditions. However, the establishment of a
useful chromatographic model poses multiple challenges, such
as high computational demands during model calibration, high
variability within the experimental datasets, and
discrepancies between model assumptions and experimental
realities. This thesis aims to ease the model establishing
process by investigating these challenges and offering
options for improvement. The long computation time during
model calibration was reduced with the implementation of a
novel calibration algorithm based on Bayesian optimization,
called BayesOpt. The fitting of a complete model parameter
set based on a typical experimental dataset was ~10-fold
faster with the new BayesOpt than the industry standard
gradient descent algorithm using a single CPU core (46 min
vs 478 min). This drastically improved the model calibration
workflow, during which the model calibration algorithm has
to be run frequently, as multiple datasets have to be
calibrated multiple times to compare different model
assumptions and setup-options. Using this calibration
algorithm, chromatographic models were created based on
several experimental ion exchange chromatography datasets.
Potential sources for model errors were discovered and
mitigation strategies were suggested. Lastly, a key
assumption within a model for hydrophobic interaction
chromatography was challenged, as it led to unrealistic
model predictions. Two alternative models were proposed,
implemented, and evaluated on in silico and experimental
datasets. The new models were found to have eliminated the
unrealistic predictions while also outperforming the
original model on two out of three experimental datasets.
Together, these advancements can offer substantial increases
for the speed and probability of success of setting up
chromatographic models.},
