Advances
in genetics and molecular biology have led to many new pharmaceutical,
chemical, and agricultural products of micro-organisms and cultured plants,
animal and insect cells. The industrial production of these products depends
on bioprocessing strategies to enable commercially viable biomanufacturing.
These include new engineering initiatives in the development of high
throughput bioreactors, efficient separation and purification for
bioproducts, and computer-interfaced instrumentation for optimal bioprocess
control. The importance of biotechnology in today's world and the need to
meet the above challenges have resulted in biochemical engineering being
introduced into almost all syllabi for Chemical Engineering studies. The
biochemical engineering inputs involve in scaling up the laboratory bench
operation to the level of industrial dimensions by several options and
operation that include the choice of process engineering method, the design
and use of specific bioreactor and so on. In order to accrue the benefit of
biochemical engineering principles, it is, therefore, necessary to have a
synergic integration of the knowledge of chemical engineering and life
sciences. The proposed National Conference on ‘Biochemical Engineering:
Present Scenario and Future Perspective’ is directed towards achieving this
goal in a humble way. The theme of
the symposium will be Biochemical Engineering from the biomolecular scale to
the multicellular, tissue, and population level in areas ranging from biopharmaceuticals
to biochemicals to bioenergy. This would include plenary and keynote
presentations, oral and poster sessions, and social gatherings that bring
together researchers and practitioners in an
informal environment for discussing the latest advances. The meeting will be
structured to maximize interaction between established investigators, younger
scientists, and students. |
