Bioprocessing Virtual Event Series 2022

Over the last three years, Labroots has brought Bioprocessing to the forefront of the scientific virtual event community by showcasing transformations and advancements in the field. Labroots is excited to announce its 4th annual event in the Bioprocessing Virtual Event Series to highlight new advances in development, methodology, and manufacturing.

Join us for this free, one-day event, on April 6, 2022, as we focus on breakthroughs in upstream and downstream processing, analytical development and quality, formulation and stability, cell and gene therapy production, and manufacturing.

This year’s event includes the following topics and tracks:

Call for Posters — Work in bioprocessing at any level? Preclinical, upstream, downstream, analytical, Quality Control, or post-production manufacturing? Share your work! Presenting a virtual poster with Labroots has many benefits, not only in that you can do it from the comfort of your own home or office. When you present a poster at a Labroots virtual event you are putting it directly in front of other specialists in Bioprocessing all over the world.

Virtual poster sessions offer the opportunity to present data to a global audience via a PDF poster (with optional audio/visual element) and discuss your results with interested colleagues through email. Plan now to have your poster included in the 2022 Bioprocessing Virtual Event. Submission is free. Submit your abstract and poster here.

Miss the event? It will remain open for 2 years from the date of the live event with webinars and posters available for unlimited on-demand viewing. This virtual conference also offers increased reach for the global bioprocessing community with a high degree of interaction through live-streaming video and chat sessions.

Continuing Education
Labroots is approved as a provider of continuing education programs in the clinical laboratory sciences by the ASCLS P.A.C.E. ® Program. By attending this event, you can earn 1 Continuing Education credit per presentation for a maximum of 35 credits.

Labroots is a proud partner of Chati, a virtual event platform that allows for the hosting of engaging and interactive virtual and hybrid events, catering to businesses of any vertical or size.
