| General Announcement & Call for Abstracts Internet access: http://sklbe.ecust.edu.cn/ or http://www.sklbe.labs.gov.cn/ Please check this web-site for any updated information. Date: May 26 (Mon.) - 29 (Thurs.), 2003 Venue: East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST), Shanghai Language: English ●ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM In recent years, the development of biotechnology and biochemical engineering is very fast. Biochemical engineers are anticipated to play a more and more important role in the advancement of biotechnology and development of bio-related industries including pharmaceutical, food, fermentation, and environmental protection sections. In order to provide a forum for exchanging up-to-date research results, discussing common research interests, exploring potential scientific cooperation, and improving friendship among active scientists from China and other countries (regions), an international symposium on ﾒBioprocess and Biomolecular Engineeringﾓ is planned after discussion with our domestic and international colleagues. We welcome senior experts, young researchers, and excellent graduate students in the fields of biotechnology and bioengineering to participate in this event at the East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST). As the participant number is limited, we encourage an early submission of high quality papers to this symposium. ●SPONSOR (TENTATIVE) National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) ●ORGANIZING COMMITTEE The symposium will be organized by the State Key Laboratory of Bioreactor Engineering in cooperation with domestic institutes. The local organizing committee consists of the following young academic leaders in biotechnology/biochemical engineering from distinguished institutes. Jian Chen, Southern Yangtze University, Wuxi Cheng-Bin Cui, Ocean University of China, Qingdao Xiao-Jun Ma, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Dalian Zhi-Guo Su, Institute of Process Engineering (CAS), Beijing Tian-Wei Tan, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Beijing Wen-Song Tan, East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST), Shanghai Dong-Zhi Wei, ECUST, Shanghai (Co-Chair) Jian-He Xu , ECUST, Shanghai Shan-Jing Yao, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou Wei Zhang, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (CAS), Dalian Jian-Jiang Zhong, ECUST, Shanghai (Co-Chair) ●TECHNICAL PROGRAM All the presentations will be run in oral sessions. The topics will reflect the latest development and emerging areas in biochemical engineering science and applied biotechnology. A) Genetic and Protein Engineering, Proteomics, Genomics, Bioinformatics; B) Metabolic Engineering and Pathway Regulation; C) Animal and Plant Cell Culture, Marine Bioprocess Engineering; D) Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering; E) Biocatalysis and Chiral bio-technology; F) Fermentation Technology and Process Integration; G) Bioprocess Control and Bioproducts Optimization; H) Bioseparation and Downstream Engineering; I) Environmental Biotechnology and Clean Production. The invited speakers include world experts - Wei-Shou Hu, Tadayuki Imanaka, Thomas Scheper, Daniel I.C. Wang, Henry Y. Wang, and Toshiomi Yoshida. Their lectures will focus on genomics cell culture engineering, metabolic engineering, bio-molecular engineering and protein engineering, ecological process engineering, intelligent downstream technology, protein expression systems, challenges in fermentation technology and cell culture technology, biopharmaceutical engineering, bioprocess engineering and knowledge-engineering approaches, and cell processing engineering for medical care application. ●SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS All interested people are requested to submit a registration form and an extended abstract with 600-800 words for presentation at the conference to one of the organizing members (E-mail: jjzhong@ecust.edu.cn; fax: (+86-21)-6425-3904; phone: (+86-21)-6425-2091). The authors are advised to only indicate until their city/prefecture/province name with the postal code in their address. Inclusion of email address and fax number is also required for quick communication. All accepted abstracts will be published in the symposium proceedings, which will be available at registration. Authors should submit their abstracts via email attachment (in Microsoft Word file) NOT later than Apr. 10th, 2003. It is determined that one applicant can only have one oral talk. The organizers encourage the participation by graduate students, but each laboratory is limited to recommend only one student due to the limitation of total participants. We hope to ensure a well-interacted symposium for all the speakers. The abstract format: Typewritten on A4 paper with margins of top (2.5 cm), bottom (5 cm), left (3 cm) and right (4 cm). Font: Times New Roman; Title: bold and centered (14pt); Authors and affiliation: 11pt, with the presenting author indicated by a superscript asterisk; Text: 11pt, single spaced and fully justified. ●ATTENDANCE The symposium will be limited to 70 attendees. ●ACCOMMODATION Accommodation will be available at Chen-Yuan guesthouse of ECUST. ●CONFERENCE FEES The conference fees for participants include registration, admission to all conference sessions, accommodation, a welcome reception, a farewell dinner, coffee breaks, and a set of proceedings. There will be no admission to the conference without registration. The conference fees are tentatively set as follows. From mainland: Academic researchers 850 Yuan Graduate students 600 Yuan From other countries/regions: Academic researchers 350 US$ Graduate students 250 US$ *The conference may provide partial financial assistance to a number of participants upon their request, who have submitted high quality abstracts but have financial difficulties in attending this symposium. In this case, a reduced registration fee will be offered. ●IMPORTANT DATES E-mail submission of meeting abstract & application form: NOT later than Apr. 10th, 2003. Notification of acceptance by email: Apr. 25th, 2003. *Upon our receipt of a submitted abstract, a confirmation email will be sent to the presenting author within 3 days, while a selection result will be informed by email on 25 Apr.
