Society for Biological Engineering (SBE)

SBE is a global technological community that promotes the integration of engineering with biology and realize its benefits through bioprocessing, biomedical, and biomolecular applications. SBE provides opportunities for interaction of engineers and scientists, develops products and services bring value to the broad biological engineering community, and infuses awareness of biological engineering among all functions and activities of AIChE.

Molecular Gastronomy: The Science of Flavor

AIChE Webinar
Oct 26, 2011
Professor Peter Barham

What gives food its flavor? What makes some foods taste really good while others can be mediocre or even disgusting? How far can science go in answering these and other questions that are so important for domestic cooks and chefs alike?
In this webinar, Professor Peter Barham addresses these and other questions.

Quality by Design for DPIs -A Regulatory Perspective

Oct 19, 2011
Prasad Peri
Inhalation Powders have become an important dosage form in developing products for delivery to the lungs. Since the approval of the first DPI in the US in the late 1990’s there has been a rapid surge in the number of drug development programs involving Dry Powder Inhalers. The draft MDI/DPI...

BIOCORE - On a Paradigm for the Design and Synthesis of Real-Life Biorefineries

Oct 19, 2011
Aikaterini D. Mountraki
As oil is a fast depleting resource (BP, 2010), much is expected by the production of biofuels as valid options to replace fossil-oil transportation fuels. Biorefineries are not an entirely new concept. Many of the traditional biomass conversion technologies such as the sugar and paper industries...

Green and High Efficient Enzyme Hydrolysis Process for Sweet Sorghum Bagasse

Oct 19, 2011
Xinshu Zhuang
In order to improve enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency, several approaches including liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatment, adding surfactant, magnetic stirring and fed-batch hydrolysis were investigated, in which Sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB) was chosen as the feedstock. The experiment results showed...

Design Space Definition Using a Variational Bayes' Approximation

Oct 19, 2011
Linas Mockus
The design space may be interpreted as the constrained region of the key manufacturing parameters space which provides assurance of quality of a drug given that manufacturing occurs in this region. The metric used to represent this assurance should not be deterministic, rather it should be stated...

Incremental Disassembling of Woody Biomass and Production of Biochemicals

Oct 19, 2011
Shijie Liu
Woody biomass is a reliable renewable source of raw materials for energy and chemicals. Woody biomass is structurally composed of cellulose, lignin, hemicelluloses and other minor components. The compositions vary from species to species. The complexity / heterogeneity of woody biomass presents...

Managing Uncertainty In Design Space

Oct 19, 2011
Patrick J. Whitcomb
Design of experiments, followed by numeric and graphical optimization, is frequently used by engineers to optimize a process, and to define a design space or operating window. It is critical to understand the boundaries of this operating window – if you choose a specific set of operating conditions...
