The second, biannual special conference on "Recent Advances in Fermentation Technology" (RAFT II) will be held in San Diego, USA, November 14 - 18, 1997. RAFT II is again co-sponsored by the Society for Industrial Microbiology (SIM) and the BIOT section of the American Chemical Society (ACS). Participation is limited to 300 attendees and the agenda will be focused in three areas: The conference advisory committee members are Dr. Arnold Demain (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Dr. Karl Sanford (Genencor International), Dr. Michael Flickinger (University of Minnesota), Dr. Anthony Sinskey (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and Dr. Barry Buckland (Merck). The Plenary lecture will be given by Dr. Frederick C. Neidhardt (University of Michigan). The Banquet presentation will be given by Steve C. Mendell (President & CEO, Prizm Pharmaceuticals). 1) Fermentation & Cell Culture Engineering: including medium development & optimization, process control and optimization, equipment and instrumentation design. 2) Strain Design & Improvement: including metabolic engineering, yield improvement and by-product reduction. 3) Fermentation Aspects of New Product Development: including natural products, fungal fermentations, microgravity fermentations, secondary metabolites, flavors, fragrances, fuels and chemicals. We are also planning a roundtable discussion on "Fermentation Process Consistency Requirements and Performance for Biologics" which will include participants from Industry, Government and Academia. If you are interested in contributing a talk or poster, participating in the roundtable discussion, getting on the mailing list, reserving space for a table-top exhibit and/or contributing as a sponsor, please contact one of the program co-chairs listed below, as soon as possible (e-mail preferred).
