mini-BIOMAN Conferences

Our mini-BIOMAN Conferences are designed for two or four-year college faculty and focus on a specific area of biomanufacturing. The three-day, hands-on workshops will provide in-depth knowledge of and experience in the most cutting-edge biomanufacturing technologies. Each mini-BIOMAN Conference will encompass three days packed with hands-on laboratory activities and informative lectures. At the conclusion of the mini-BIOMAN, participants will have a comprehensive, ready-to-insert curriculum module to utilize in their own classrooms. Curricular materials include SOPs, PowerPoint slides and links to helpful resources and references.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided each day of the conference, and transportation to off-site venues is included. Hotel accommodations and travel funds are available for out-of-town participants.
