ESBES Section on Bioreactor Performance (BRP)

With the emergence of bio-products from microorganisms, ensuring the reproducibility or improving the performance of fermentation processes at an industrial scale has become a matter of high importance. While microbial metabolism is progressively understood, there is still a lack of precise, quantitative process data, subsequent models, and feedback control technologies. Our section aims to serve as a focal point for the development of such bioreactor performance tools.

Our mission is:

To identify and help develop novel fermentation and cell culture strategies integrated across the whole of bioprocessing,
To encourage the industrial uptake of new technologies and processes: covering design, scale-up(down) and process development,
To provide education and continual professional development in the field of fermentation and cell culture,
To increase research funding by networking and lobbying National and International decision makers,
To provide a platform for workshops and international conferences, involving academia and industry on key topics important for the continual development of existing and novel bio-based products.
