IBIC2016 WELCOME
Since 1960's biotechnology has become increasingly relevant to the fast growing
industries. While microbes have been used for centuries in food and drinks industry,
their continued and further investigation has advanced opportunities for their
exploitation in almost all industrial sectors. Some businesses have already
benefited from advances in applied biotechnology, others have begun to gain
tangible profits.
IBIC 2016 offers a platform for presentation of new ideas and discussion of
latest advances in applied biotechnology supported by sound science leading
to novel industrial developments.
In this context, IBIC 2016 covers topical issues in bio-production, bio-separation,
and bio-detection. Latest research topics including nano-biotechnology, biorefinery
and biofuels, biocatalysis, biomaterials, and microbial fuel cells will be presented.
Microbes will be discussed as cell factories, and fermenters will be investigated
as integrated systems in recovery operations.
IBIC 2016 welcomes you to its fifth biannual event which will be held from 10
to 13 April 2016 in the historic city, Bologna.
We look forward to meeting you in this conference which provides an exciting
programme with the opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues from all sectors
of biotechnology including academia and industry.
