From Biochemical Engineering to Synthetic Biology: A Short History of Engineering Impacts on Biotechnology

SBE Webinar

Sep 27, 2012

Harvey Blanch

This webinar will focus on how biochemical engineering developed in response to the need for large-scale production of antibiotics in the 1940s and 50s, even though fermentation provided a route to many industrial organic chemicals prior to their production from petroleum.

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.

Food, Pharmaceutical & Bioengineering Division (FP & BE)

The FP&BE division coordinates AIChE's activities in the fields of food, pharmaceuticals, and bioengineering.

Forest Bioproducts Division (FBP)

The Forest Bioproducts Division promotes knowledge sharing and networking on topics dealing with products obtained from forest resources and other lignocellulosic materials.

Challenges and Opportunities for Process Systems Engineering Approaches to QbD and Design Space

Oct 16, 2011

G. V. Reklaitis

The key components of the QbD concept, namely, the Design Space and PAT, do draw extensively for their realization on tools from the domain of process systems engineering methodology. Both the challenges and the opportunities in adapting core PSE methodology, such as process modeling and simulation...

OPTIMIZING IN-VITRO FERTILIZATION TREATMENT: A Pedagogical Case Study of Random Phenomena Analysis

Oct 16, 2011

Babatunde A. Ogunnaike

Engineering practice has always required involvement in the acquisition, analysis, interpretation and exploitation of data in one form or another, so that the “well-educated” engineer ought to be truly conversant with how to handle data. This is even more so today, with many engineers now working...

Mechanistic Modeling of Fast Pyrolysis of Cellulose to Predict Bio-Oil Composition

Oct 16, 2011

Vinu Ravikrishnan

Fast pyrolysis, a potential strategy for the production of transportation fuels from biomass, involves a complex network of competing reactions, which result in the formation of bio-oil, non-condensable gaseous species, and solid char. Bio-oil is a mixture of anhydro sugars, furan derivatives, and...
