Biomanufacturing and Process Development (BPD)
BPD provides a forum for process development and manufacturing scientists and engineers to discuss bioprocessing issues and solutions. Students, trainees, and transitioning professionals are also encouraged to attend.
The group meets approximately six to eight times a year with speakers from industry and academia, as well as technology and regulatory experts. BPD is one of approximately 20 Exchange Groups supported by NCBiotech.
Membership Guidelines
Professionals, faculty, staff, students, postdocs, and industry members are welcome. There are no membership fees.
Meeting Format
For the 2022 - 2023 season, we will host a hybrid half-day symposia and a full-day vendor show in April. The Symposia will host multiple speakers centered around the meeting theme. Additionally, as time permits, there will be networking opportunities for attendees, exhibitors and speakers.
The half-day symposia will be from approximately 12:30 to 5:00 p.m., and the full-day symposia will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. unless otherwise noted. Registration is free but required for all webinars and events.
BPD thanks our symposia sponsors who support our programs.
