Keywords: meetings On behalf of my co-chair Andreas Linninger, I would like to encourage you to submit an abstract to our AIChE 2007 Annual Meeting session on "Design of Biological and Pharmaceutical Systems". A description of the session is given below. Abstracts may be submitted online at aiche.org, and be aware that the deadline for submissions is May 14, 2007. Thank you for your consideration. The session will focus on recent advances and future challenges in the use of systems engineering tools for the design of biological and pharmaceutical systems. These issues include but are not limited to: bioprocess optimization and design; bioreactor design; high cell density fermentation; cellular processes; high throughput design of chemicals and biomaterials; mechanism-based modeling and analysis of industrial biological processes, bioseparations, and design for drug delivery applications.
