Annual Conference

The first conference of The Israel Society for Biotechnology Engineering (being formed) will be held on Sunday, December 25, 2011, at the Leonardo City Tower Hotel, Ramat-Gan.

The conference will feature research results presented by researchers and students as well as new technologies presented by professionals from the industry.  Materials and research equipment will be displayed in the commercial exhibition.

The conference program will be comprised of invited lectures, plenary sessions, presentations in parallel sessions, a panel discussion, posters display and a commercial exhibition.  All these will reflect the state of the art in the field of biotechnology engineering in the academy and in the industry.

We invite you to take part in this important conference.

 

The Israel Society for Biotechnology Engineering

The purpose of the society is to become home to the multidisciplinary community of those involved in the field of biotechnology engineering. It is geared towards scientists and students from universities and colleges, R&D professionals and biotechnology engineers from the industry.  

The society will provide excellent networking opportunities to promote the dialogue and the exchange of information between the different disciplines and to advance activities and research in the field of biotechnology in Israel.  

The society will be a non-profit organization and will act as required by The Israeli Corporations Authority.

The discipline of Biotechnology Engineering encompasses the understanding of biological systems based on their chemical, physical properties and on engineering principles. Its basic aim is to utilize biological and biomimetic systems to develop technologies and research fields needed to promote human health through medical advances and to protect the environment via the sustainable use of natural resources.

Biotechnology Engineering resides in the junction between life sciences, chemical process engineering, chemistry, and physics. Together with a profound understanding of living systems from the genetic level that incorporates in-depth knowledge of biomaterials and biological processes involved, this field engages engineering principles that enable the development of methods and processes on an industrial scale.

Biotechnology Engineers are trained to interact with and unify a variety of scientific and engineering disciplines with the ultimate goal of initiating collaborative interdisciplinary research and industrial activities related to living systems.
