Biomanufacturing and Process Development

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. Each meeting features speakers from industry and academia, as well as technology and regulatory experts. BPD is one of approximately 25 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 2023 - 2024 season, we will host a 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 required for all webinars and events. 

BPD thanks our symposia sponsors who support our programs.
