BioProNET workshops
Big data | Genome editing | Bioprocess Intensification
Dear <<First Name>>,
Don't forget that BioProNET has 3 upcoming workshops — all free to attend — that you might be interested in. There are also two other upcoming events that might be of relevance to you.
Thank you to everyone who has already registered.
Using big data and computational methods in bioprocessing
June 11th, University of Kent, Canterbury, 9.30am–5.00pm
The continuing advances in computational methods and the greater use of high throughput omics approaches has increased the potential for greater application of these methods in bioprocessing. This workshop will focus on a number of main areas including: 1) antibody design, 2) use of genetic variation when analysing CHO cells for biologics production 3) protein modelling to investigate properties such as aggregation and binding of host cell impurities to biologics.
Confirmed speakers include Charlotte Deane, University of Oxford; Mark Wass, University of Kent; Nicole Borth, Universität für Bodenkultur, Vienna, Austria; Olga Obrezanova, Lonza; Jim Warwicker, University of Manchester; Sayoni Das, UCL and Michael Sadowski, Synthace.

Travel: If you are coming by train via London, then Canterbury is less than one hour from London St Pancras. More travel details here https://www.kent.ac.uk/locations/canterbury/directions.html
The promise of genome editing: changing bioprocessing, manufacture and much more
June 18th, Bradfield Centre, Cambridge Science Park, 11am–4pm
Confirmed speakers include Nicola McCarthy, Horizon Discovery; Mark Fife, Pirbright Institute and Claus Kristensen, University of Copenhagen.
Evolution is so ‘yesterday’ as we enter the revolution offered by genome editing. You may find this opinion provocative but if the cellular systems we have are not good enough for the functions needed, why should we not just build new ones by changing the genetic makeup of the cell, So far, so good… the promise remains but what is the reality of this hope? In this workshop we are bringing together expert opinion leaders from academia and industry to examine the likelihood of the expectations being translated to outcomes. Via short expert presentations and focused group discussions, participants will examine how the potential of genome editing to change the manufacture of bio-based products may be enhanced and the practical consequences of such interventions from a commercial perspective.

Bioprocess intensification
July 4th, University College London 9.30am–5.30pm
The continued growth of the biopharmaceutical industry is being challenged by a greater number and variety of products than in the past. The industry is also increasingly concerned with the affordability of these products. These key factors means process intensification has become a critical objective. The goal is higher productivity processes to enable small process trains, resulting in cost-effective, lean, and agile manufacturing facilities. The symposium assembles 8 leaders from the biopharmaceutical industry and academia (Line Lundsberg-Nielsen (NNE), Hani El-Sabbahy (3M/UCL), Ajoy Velayudhan (UCL) Peter Levison (Pall), Will Lewis (GSK), Jonathan Souquet (Merck KGaA), John Welsh (Pall) Suzy Farid (UCL)) who will present their latest findings and opinions on the subject. By bringing together scientists and engineers from academia and industry who are actively engaged in bioprocess intensification the event will provide forum for lively debate.

Other events
KTN: Formulation challenges for traditional and next generation biopharmaceuticals
5th July, University of Manchester
This meeting will address the challenges posed by the increased size and variety of biopharmaceutical pipelines for the UK formulation community and will feature a selection of speakers who represent the many facets of the modern formulation sector from the biopharma field and beyond.

HVCfP NIBB: Technicians' Conference
10 July, Hallmark Midland Hotel
If you are a technologist or technician working in industrial biotechnology, this event is for you! It will focus on cutting edge research techniques, technical careers and network building. There are also opportunities for delegates to offer a short presentation on their research and career path. A limited number of transport and accommodation bursaries are also available for participants. There are 40 places available on a first-come-first-served basis; the deadline to register is 25th June 2018 (subject to availability).
