On 25th September 2014, the Industrial Biotechnology Leadership Forum and CPI are hosting a 1 day conference on ‘Downstream Processing for Industrial Biotechnology’.

This free event will look at the challenges faced by downstream processing and review the current thinking into the technical solutions in industry, and will provide a networking opportunity by bringing together a multi-disciplined community interested in industrial biotechnology and forming collaborations.

Background:

Downstream processing (DSP) is often an overlooked step in industrial biotechnology with other stages of the process being higher on the research and development agenda. However, DSP can present a significant design challenge to the achievement of an optimised and cost efficient process. With the demands for bioprocesses to become more diverse with regards to feedstock specifications and the variety of finished products, the challenges for DSP are going to become greater. This event is an opportunity to review the challenges that are faced with DSP and to look at the opportunities and funding that exists going forward.

Programme:

The day will consist of talks from both academia and industry along with an exhibition and an opportunity to see the IB facilities at CPI .

The tour of the CPI facilities provided has a limited number of spaces available. Register for this conference early to ensure a space on the tours.

Themes:

• Water management
• Novel and newly applied technology for the extraction and purification of product in the area of industrial biotechnology
• Scale-up of downstream processing in bio-processes
