BioProcess Conferences

Two bioprocess related conferences worth bringing to your attention -- the American Chemical Society's 236th National Meeting in Philadelphia which just ended on August 21st, and the upcoming BioProcess International Conference & Exhibition which is being held from September 23-26th in Anaheim, CA.

Even though the ACS meeting is over, you can still check out the technical program for the Division of Biochemical Technology (and for all participating divisions for that matter) and review the presentation abstracts. Sometimes when attending conferences its tough to attend all of the presentations or view all of the posters that interest you. Its helpful to be able to look at the program, find the appropriate contact information and then email the presenters / authors and ask for a copy of their presentation. Even if you couldn't attend the conference in person, being able to contact the presenters and inquire about their work is a great way to stay current with the latest happenings in industry and academia.

The BioProcess International Conference has four tracks:

• Production & Economics
• Scaling Up from Bench Through Commercialization
• Cell Culture & Upstream Processing
• Recovery & Purification

After briefly reviewing the conference agenda, it looks like it has something interesting to offer just about anyone who works in the bioprocessing field.
