New Developments in Biomanufacturing
February 20, 2007
Advances in biomanufacturing directly impact overall product cost and quality. Incorporating recent advances in processing techniques in the manufacturing environment is a constant challenge to biologists and engineers. The WPI symposium on "New Developments in Biomanufacturing" will address some of the recent developments in a broad range of areas within the biomanufacturing field including upstream developments in bioreactors, improved filtration systems for enhanced recovery, and chromatographic recovery systems targeted for improved FDA compliance.
Biotechnology and Bioengineering Corporate Forum
March 22, 2007
The Forum will provide wide-ranging perspectives on the current state of the industry and its future, and how companies, universities, and government can work together to develop new products to meet the nation's healthcare needs. We will showcase the activities of local and regional biotechnology and medical device companies as well as the research, development and commercialization efforts of WPI's Life Sciences departments and the Bioengineering Institute.
The 2nd Annual WPI/UMass Symposium on Tissue Regeneration
April 4, 2007
Presentations will focus on biosciences and engineering technologies at the forefront of wound healing and cardiovascular tissue regeneration.
Symposium for Regenerative Bioscience & Engineering
September 20, 2007
Regenerative Biology is an emerging field within the life sciences and bioengineering disciplines which offers the ability to treat disease and or trauma by replacement of lost tissue. The regeneration of tissue involves a complex interaction between cells and their environment. Chemical, electrical and mechanical factors are all likely to play a significant role in directing cells to differentiate into desired phenotypes. By integrating principles of engineering with increased knowledge of cell biology, scientists are now beginning to understand how to use one's own cells or those from other sources to repair damaged tissue. This technology has the potential to restore function to tissues and organs that were once thought of as un-repairable. At the CRBE symposium, world renowned leaders in the field of regenerative biosciences and engineering will describe how they are able to direct the reparative process through the use of cells and engineered biomaterials.
