Himmelfahrtstagung 2019: Intensification and digitalisation for integral bioprocessing

+++ Call for Paper Deadline 30 November 2018 +++

Optimizing individual steps of the production chain not necessarily leads to the optimization of a bioprocess. During the “Himmelfahrtstagung 2019”, new tools offering a holistic optimization of bioprocesses resulting in intensified processes will be discussed.

Major Topics:

Digital strain engineering
Digitalisation in up- and downstream processing
Intensification of cultivation and separation, purification and formulation processes
In-situ product removal

Furthermore, as second essential pillar besides the core topic, the ‘Himmelfahrtstagung’ serves as a platform for young scientists to present their results to the scientific community. As such, young researches are invited to submit their work to the committee for getting the chance of presentation, irrespective of the topic of the conference.

Over the last years, the “Himmelfahrtstagung” has developed from the most important event of the German bioprocess community into an international hot-spot for biotechnologists and process engineers, attracting an international audience and enabling scientific exchange for all those dealing with bioprocess development and optimisation.

Keynotes:

Arlindo Oliveira, Lisbon: Big Data and Bioengineering: The Perfect Marriage

The production of bio-molecules is a sequential procedure comprising multiple steps of substrate supply, product formation, separation, purification and formulation. Often enough, recombinant producers that are the result of intensive strain engineering enable the transformation of complex substrates to the product of interest. Research and development steadily succeed to optimise individual components of the production chain; however, optimizing individual steps not necessarily leads to the optimization of the integral bioprocess.

Single improvements in upstream processes may not be further exploited by downstream operation, and vice versa. It is a common observation that sequential optimization often requires time-consuming iterative post-optimization of all operational steps because of the existing interactions.

Instead, a holistic approach aiming for an integral design of the total bioprocess would recognize suchinteractions ad initio and would enable new experimental design methods preventing laborious re-iteration loops. Novel tools such as digitalisation, automation, and miniaturization concepts offer profound analysis of the integral process. Thereby, the efficiency of bioprocess development should be improved finally achieving intensified bio-processes.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
