title: Conference scene: miniaturisation - micro scale bioprocess development.
abstract: The Miniaturisation - Micro Scale Bioprocess Development conference organized by Euroscicon hosted 44 delegates from the UK, Germany and Switzerland. The aim of the meeting was to highlight the recent technologies used in high-throughput bioprocess development, ranging from the selection of clones through to the analysis of the final product and formulation. Expert speakers discussed the development and use of up-to-date miniaturization technologies and the regulatory hurdles that must be overcome to expedite a wider industrial uptake. The meeting was chaired by Gary Lye (University College London, UK). Lye gave a detailed introduction to the meeting, ending with a talk and a summation at the close of the conference.
