IBE '97: "Interpreting the Vision"

Annual Meeting of THE INSTITUTE OF BIOLOGICAL ENGINEERING
Hyatt Regency Hotel, Minneapolis, MN
August 7-9, 1997

IBE'97: "Interpreting the Vision" will bring engineers,
scientists, students,and educators within the biological
engineering community together in a common forum to discuss
emerging issues in biological engineering theory and practice;
evaluate current trends in biological engineering curricula
development and delivery; and establish a framework for continued
collaboration.

THE PROGRAM will include keynote, invited and contributed
presentations and posters from industry, academia, and
government.  A wide range of topics in education, research and
practice will be presented, in sessions focused on current
thinking in:

   Biological Materials
    design
    non-invasive analysis

   Biomedical Engineering
     biocompatibility
     biomechanics and imaging
     drug formulation and delivery

   Bioprocess Engineering
     biomass conversion
     cell culture and fermentations
     downstream processing

   Ecosystem Dynamics
     phenomenology
     modeling and simulation

   Environmental Engineering
     aerobic and anaerobic digestion
     biofilters
     bioremediation and phytoremediation
     wastewater treatment by natural systems

   Food Engineering
     processing and packaging
     rheology
     sensors and image analysis
