Division/Committee: [BIOT] Division of Biochemical Technology

In the field of next generation manufacturing and interconnected bioprocessing, more companies are willing to adopt novel approaches. Due to many factors, each company finds themselves at a different stage of generating a viable system whether they are beginning to design an integrated process, understanding the technical issues that come with scale up/scale down, or advanced enough to undertake facility fit and tech transfer challenges. Assuring successful implementation in a facility can require new approaches to gain additional insight into scaling, simulation, and/or modeling. These may include fundamental/engineering models used to anticipate large scale performance, as well as development of appropriate small-scale models used for process characterization and/or troubleshooting. We seek abstracts that cover this broad range of development milestones which starts with companies seeking to take initial steps into interconnected bioprocessing with case studies focusing on pilot scale proof of concept systems. For more maturely developed systems, we seek scale-up and scale-down and tech transfer topics, particularly for cases where challenges related to scaling and single or multi-facility fit were observed, and novel solutions or technologies were required.
