International Conference on Biopartitioning and Purification (BPP 2013), Newport, RI, October 6-10, 2013

1256304 Lenhoff该奖项将为年轻研究人员参加第17届生物分配和纯化国际会议(BPP 2013)提供部分旅行支持，该会议将于2013年10月6-10日在国际扶轮纽波特举行。奖励资金将主要用于补贴美国学生参加会议的旅费和注册费；参加会议的美国初级教职员工也可能获得类似的补贴。会议的科学范围将包括以下领域：相形成和生物分配的热力学、生物制品与介质之间相互作用的分子方面、多模式层析过程、高效价过程、亲和力增强的生物分离、纯化单元操作建模和优化、合理/高通量生物过程设计、颗粒/病毒样颗粒纯化、DNA/RNA纯化以及新兴的生物分离技术。我们的目标是尽可能全面地定义主题领域，以吸引各种各样的相关提交，选择那些最高质量的主题纳入计划，然后将口头陈述组织成连贯的主题会议。将邀请来自产业界和学术界的多位国际公认的领导人进行应邀的主题演讲。关于会议的信息将主要通过会议网站提供，该网站仿照BPP 2011年的网站(www.bpp2011.org)。组织者将寻求在一本领先期刊的专刊上发表在会议上提交的研究成果。BPP 2013是一个绝佳的机会，让学生在不限于单个单元操作的综合环境中获得关于生物分离和更广泛的生物处理的独特视角。

1256304 LenhoffThis award will provide partial travel support for young researchers to attend the 17th biannual International Conference on Biopartitioning and Purification (BPP 2013), which will be held in Newport, RI, October 6-10, 2013. Award funds will be used primarily to subsidize the travel and registration fees for US students to attend the conference; similar subsidies may also be made available to US junior faculty attending the conference. The scientific scope of the conference will include areas such as thermodynamics of phase formation and the partitioning of biological, molecular aspects of interactions between biologicals and media, multi-mode chromatographic processes, high titer processes, affinity-enhanced bioseparations, purification unit operation modeling and optimization, rational/high-throughput bioprocess design, particle/virus-like particle purification, DNA/RNA purification, and emerging bioseparation technologies. The goal is to define the topical areas as inclusively as possible so as to attract a wide variety of relevant submissions, select those of highest quality for inclusion in the program, and then to organize the oral presentations into cohesive topical sessions. A number of invited keynote lectures by internationally recognized leaders from both industry and academia will be invited. Information on the conference will be made available primarily via the conference website, which is being modeled on that used for BPP 2011 (www.bpp2011.org). The organizers will seek publication of research presented at the conference in a dedicated issue of a leading journal. BPP 2013 represents an outstanding opportunity for students to obtain a distinctive perspective over bioseparations and bioprocessing more generally in an integrated context that is not limited to an individual unit operation.
