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.

Establishing Appropriate Particle Size Specifications for Solid Oral Dosage Forms

Nov 8, 2009

Zhigang Sun

Control of particle size distribution of pharmaceutical powders is critical in the manufacture of solid oral dosage forms due to significant impact of particle size on the safety and efficacy of the drug product. As shown in many publications, particle sizes of powders have profound influences on...

Multivariate Texture Analysis for Solid Dosage Intermediate and Final Product Characterization and Downstream Performance Prediction

Nov 8, 2009

Salvador Garcia

A framework using wavelet decomposition coupled with multivariate latent variable methods is proposed to quantitatively characterize the texture appearance of pharmaceutical materials and products. This framework allows having a non-biased measure of the visual characteristic of solid materials...

Drug Product Quality by Design: An Industrial Perspective

Nov 8, 2009

Mary T. am Ende

The regulatory quality guidances (Q8 – Q10) have set the expectation to develop pharmaceutical products based on a comprehensive quality by design approach. These expectations have permeated our industry as the new gold standard. Pharmaceutical development and commercialization programs are now...

Advanced Biofuels - The Path Forward

Nov 8, 2009

W. Densmore Hunter

Oil prices go up and they come down and our ability to forecast them with any real confidence has not been particularly good. A year ago when oil prices were at record highs and global economies were booming, the case for biofuels seemed clear. The path forward is cloudier today. Are we facing a...
