Biochemical Engineering XII

生物化学工程会议是生物化学工程界的主要会议。本次会议的重点将包括生化工程的重要核心领域（发酵/细胞培养和下游工艺开发）以及令人兴奋的生化工程新领域（纳米技术，蛋白质组学的“组学”，基因组学和物理组学，海洋和环境生物技术）。会议将说明如何将构成生化工程传统领域基础的相同工程基础（单元操作、质量和能量传输、热力学和动力学）应用于推动这两个领域的进步。除定期会议外，还计划举办两次讲习班。一个名为“生化工程教育：基础与最新技术”的研讨会将集中讨论将工程基础与最新技术应用相结合的经常相互竞争的需求。本次研讨会将邀请来自工业界和学术界的代表参加。第二个研讨会题为“生化工程研究的新方向”，将集中讨论生化工程研究的潜在新领域。讨论将有学术和工业代表作为小组成员。每个小组成员将被要求准备一份简报，发言时间不超过5分钟。演示结束后，将要求观众提供意见。

The Biochemical Engineering Conference serves as the premier meeting for the Biochemical Engineering community. The focus of this Conference will include important core areas of Biochemical Engineering (fermentation/cell culture and downstream process development) as well as exciting new frontiers of Biochemical Engineering (nanotechnologies, the "omics" of proteomics, genomics and physiomics, marine and environmental biotechnology). The Conference will illustrate how the same engineering fundamentals (unit operations, mass and energy transport, thermodynamics, and kinetics) that form the basis of traditional areas of Biochemical Engineering are being applied to drive advances in both areas. In addition to the regular sessions, two workshops are planned. A workshop entitled "Biochemical Engineering Education: fundamentals versus state-of-the-art" will focus on the often-competing needs to incorporate engineering fundamental into the curriculum as well as state-of-the-art applications. This workshop will feature representatives from industry and academe. A second workshop entitled "New Directions in Biochemical Engineering Research" will focus on potentially new areas for research in Biochemical Engineering. The discussion will have as panelists both academic and industrial representatives. Each panelist will be asked to prepare a single transparency and speak for no longer than 5 minutes. Following the presentations, input from the audience will be requested.
