#71 - Biotechnology and Bio-Engineering: Mixing Problems and Solutions (06002)
In the Biotechnology and Bio-Engineering industry, insufficient understanding of mixing problems and solutions can easily lead to a billion dollars annually in missed opportunity. The industry presents unique challenges in discovery and processing and as this industry is being born, it is critical to expose issues, explore further, and discuss existing solutions with regards to mixing. We invite papers on mixing-related process development work or fundamental studies that are empirical or theoretical to develop a body of work for the biotechnology and bioengineering industry.
