Scaling down and up of bioprocesses: strategies, tools and process performance

The BioProScale Symposium is an event on industrial scale bioprocessing with a long scientific tradition. Target groups are experts from research & development and industrial practice in bioprocessing of pharmaceuticals, food, feed and renewables.

Please, for more information and updates visit the 8th BioProScale Symposium 2024 website here.

We are glad of having Marcela Vegetti from INGAR (Argentina) here in October for a research stay related to ontologies with focus on automated bioprocesses. 

Ontologies allow to model the relationships between data and steps of a process in a way which is understandable to both humans and machines. They enable a more precise and structured knowledge representation and sharing, and can help us e.g., in on-boarding / transfer of workflows. 

Marcela is giving 4 lectures for beginners on Wednesdays, 11.10., 18.10., 25.10. and 01.11. from 10:00 – 12:00 (incl. 30 min for questions). This is a great chance to learn from an expert in this field!

Feel free to join the seminar series here.

We have organized a KIWI-biolab workshop on May 3-4, 2023. We will start with the overview of the current status followed by presentations and scientific sessions led by the four KIWI-biolab Task Forces.

KIWI-biolab members and partners met in Hirschluch for a 2-days discussions about last developments, synergies and next challenges within our promising project.

We had vivid discussions about how to integrate the different disciplines and find out a common language that is understandable for us all. This was possible though various presentations and discussions from our dedicated team of computing scientists, physicists, and (bio)engineers.

And, of course, we also had some fun 🙂

Scaling up and down of Bioprocesses: Technological Innovation and Cell Physiology Insights.

They symposium is organized by Prof. Dr. Peter Neubauer, coordinator of the KIWI-biolab, and consists of two blocks: Industrial Scale – Scaling up and down – PAT (28-29 March, 2022) and High Throughput Bioprocess Development – Advances in Software, Hardware, and Integration (30-31 March 2022).

Various KIWI-biolab scientists and international experts will share their insights in machine intelligence and bioprocess engineering.

We are hosting an online KIWI-biolab workshop on 19.05.2021, 14:00h – 17:00h. We will start with a short presentation of our lab, followed by icebreaker board canvas to initiate scientific discussions on four paralel sessions corresponding to the four KIWI-biolab Task Forces.

Our PhD students will present and lead the discussion on Gathertown and Miro boards:

• TF1 discussion “Modern time series models for irregular data”, Randolf Scholz
• TF2 discussion “Progress and challenges in parameter estimation and model predictive control”, Judit Aizpuru
• TF3 discussion “Predicting glucose sensor time series and its issues; Potential use cases of Raman spectra”, Christoph Lange
• TF4 discussion “360° Lab tour, equipment automation in process industries, can KIWI contribute to a greener society?” and “From process description to adaptive scheduling” Lucas Kaspersetz and Stefan Maak

Scale-up and scale-down for accelerated bioprocess development and optimisation.

They symposium is organized by Prof. Dr. Peter Neubauer, coordinator of the KIWI-biolab, and targets experts from research & development and industrial practice in the industrial bioprocessing of pharmaceuticals, food, feed and renewables. Due to the Covid-19 situation, the symposium will be conducted as a 100% online event including scientific sessions, a virtual exhibition and a virtual poster session.

Various KIWI-biolab scientists will share their expertise in high-throughput bioprocess & automation.

For more information and registration, please visit the 6th BioProScale Symposium 2021 website.

The KIWI-biolab team members and partners met online on October 29, 2020 to discuss the progress of the Future Lab and to share their thoughts about further perspectives.

The KIWI-biolab leaders met Communication and Press offices from various institutions to broadcast the mission of the project and explain the potential impact of the research output.
