Through the past few decades, delivering on the promise of biotechnology and developing cell factories has been understood to be much more than developing a strain in the laboratory, optimizing process conditions or working on a scale up design.The quality of science ultimately determines a significant portion of the economic value of most bio-based enterprises. Bioprocess platforms designed at the intersections of synthetic biology and systems biology allow one to transcend the realms of basic science into industry.In this context, automation and Intelligent microbioreactors play a huge role in the biodesign of both pathways and processes.
The panel discussion “Making the Unpredictable Predictable: Intelligent Microbioreactors in Biodesign of Pathways and Processes” is born out of the need to present insights and discuss the importance of individual aspects in bioprocess development. Eventually building up to be being more than sum of its parts, the integration of these upstream and downstream components potentially allow us to holistically deliver on the promise of an emergent efficient and optimal bioprocess. The unique perspectives brought in by each one of you with your expertise, would potentially highlight methods to make the inevitably unpredictable bioprocess design more predictable and highlight the promise and potential of bioprocess design platforms.
The webinar will also showcase the RoboLector(TM) platform as an intelligent microbioreactor designed to build next generation cell factories.
