On Sept. 15, AIM-Bio researchers and members of AIM-Bio’s External Advisory Board will host the “Accelerated Next Generation Manufacturing” workshop at the BioProcess International Conference 2025 in Boston. As the AIM-Bio program concludes its sixth and final year, this workshop provides an excellent opportunity for leaders to come together and share knowledge gained during the program. The agenda for the workshop includes a variety of topics ranging from upstream and downstream manufacturing, next generation integrated processes, analytics, workforce education and much more. The detailed agenda for the workshop is available on the conference website (Workshop 4) and outlined below.
Join us for this pre-conference workshop to celebrate the partnership of AIM-Bio and learn about accelerated next generation manufacturing. AIM-Bio, funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, has supported significant research and education programs. We look forward to the opportunity to share this knowledge and a vision for the future of manufacturing.
While you’re attending the conference Sept. 16–18, stop by the BTEC booth 739 in the exhibit hall to learn more about the center’s professional development courses and bioprocess services! We hope to see you there!
