ECB 14 : 14th European Congress on Biotechnology
Symbiosis: Science, Industry & Society

The central theme of the 14th European Congress on Biotechnology is Symbiosis, Science, Industry & Society; analyzing the impact of the life sciences industry in addressing humanity’s great challenges, looking to society to see the remaining and emerging needs, and presenting the science that will address these new challenges.

The theme Symbiosis will be addressed through 4 parallel Scientific Streams:

  1. Health & Medicine
  2. Industrial Biotechnology
  3. Plant & Environmental Biotechnology
  4. Systems Biology & Technology
  September 13. 16, 2009

 

International Workshop on Downstream Processing

Future tools in bioprocess development – µ-scale, high speed, omics and computing (EFB-Workong Group Downstream Processing)


This event takes place in Mannheim, Germany, together with 27. DECHEMA Annual Convention of Biotechnologists.

  September 8 - 9, 2009

 

PREP 2009 - 22nd International Symposium, Exhibit and Workshops on
Preparative and Process Chromatography

Ion Exchange, Adsorption Processes & Related Separation Techniques

Loews Hotel, Philadelphia, PA, USA

The PREP 2009 Organizing Committee invites you to join scientists and manufacturers of media and equipment from around the world to focus on the cutting-edge areas of preparative and process chromatography, and learn how the latest products and technologies are driving the pace of innovation in research and industry.

The Symposium will provide opportunities to present and discuss the latest scientific and technological advances in this field, an exposure to the most recent chromatography products available on the market, and training and continuing education leading to the ability to optimize processes and effect economies in the production of fine chemicals, chiral molecules, active pharmaceutical ingredients, peptides, proteins, monoclonal antibodies, plasmids, vaccines, and other biopharmaceuticals.

7th European Symposium on Biochemical Engineering Science

Faro, Portugal

The 7th European Symposium on Biochemical Engineering Science will take place in the beautiful town of Faro at the Algarve Coastline in Portugal from 7 – 10 September 2008. The symposium is jointly organised by the IBB-Institutes of Biotechnology and Bioengineering at Faro and Lisbon University and DECHEMA, Frankfurt.  The ESBES Symposium Series has developed to the leading platform for the community over the last years which provides the opportunity for biochemical scientists and engineers but also for researchers of adjacent fields to exchange their experiences.

Looking at the conference topics (see conference website) you will see that all areas of the discipline are covered. Workshops on new and promising technologies complete the programme.

EFB Bioprocess Engineering Course

Supetar, Island of Brac, Croatia
doctoral/post doctoral level course

The next course in the long line of highly successful courses since the mid-1980s on Bioprocess Engineering will take place from 14th – 19th September 2008. Like the last one in 2006, it will be held on the beautiful Island of Brac, Croatia in the Adriatic Sea. It is organised under the auspices of The European Federation of Biotechnology by the Working Group on Bioreactor Performance, in collaboration with other Working Groups (Working Group on Modelling, Monitoring, Measurement & Control and Working Group on Downstream Processing and Recovery of Bioproducts) of the EFB Section on Biochemical Engineering Science.

All of the lectures will be given by internationally distinguished university teachers or by leading experts from multinational companies. The course covers the full spectrum of bioprocess engineering, starting from genetic concepts for micro-organisms used to produce pharmaceutical and other products via microbial physiology, bioreaction kinetics to bioreactor design and scale-up. The organisms considered range from simple bacteria to highly specialised animal cell cultures. There is also a strong coverage of measurement, control and optimisation and how they interact with each other and with the specific bioreaction of interest. Finally, there is a broad-brush coverage of downstream processing. The lectures are supplemented by computer-based (MATLAB) exercises (no previous experience of MATLAB is required), discussions and a Case Study and participants are also encouraged to bring posters of their work. Selected candidates will be invited to make short oral presentations (of approximately 5 minutes duration), at a ‘Speakers’ Corner’, to be held during the course. Finally, there is a strong social programme, specifically designed to ensure that there are many opportunities to discuss the course with the lecturers.

The course is directed specifically at Ph.D. students and experienced biotechnologists from research institutes, universities and industry. Participants are expected to have a background in chemical/biochemical engineering, biotechnology, a biological science or a related discipline. The lecturers are all acknowledged specialists in their fields, so that the course also provides a forum for highlighting recent research in relevant areas.
