We are very excited to be launching this new society, and the timing couldn't be better. The biotech industry has weathered another very difficult period and conditions are showing signs of improvement. Especially with the approval of Dendreon’s cellular vaccine, a whole range of new products and technologies could become commercially viable.
ISBioTech allows us to provide the combined value and resources of our BioProcessing Journal and Techno-Blast mass emails with our extensive conference organizing experience. Plus it enables us to respond to the numerous requests we've received for a highly focused international society with the ability to support local chapters.
The International Society for BioProcess Technology was established to advance process and analytical techniques, plus make the latest bioprocess technology readily available to those developing and producing biopharmaceuticals worldwide. Click here to view the formal press release. Become a member today!
The society is dedicated to the scientists and engineers who have day-to-day responsibility for creating and managing scalable and reproducible processes, as well as the assays needed to insure indisputable quality. Through networking events and the society’s web-based resources, biotech professionals can access and share the techniques and best practices needed for safe, effective, and consistent products.
The first annual ISBioTech 3-day meeting will take place April 4-6, 2011. A preliminary program is being developed and speaker, exhibit, poster, and sponsorship details can be found on our website. |
