The Bioprocessing Summit
August 18-22, 2014 | Boston, MA
http://www.bioprocessingsummit.com
The Bioprocessing Summit brings together international leaders to discuss today's bioprocess issues from cell line
selection to bioproduction. The Summit provides practical details in a relaxed, congenial atmosphere that promotes information exchange and networking.
The Bioprocessing Summit continues to grow, and now comprises 12 distinct meetings in one event, including cell
culture, purification, bioproduction, quality, formulation, and novel biotherapeutic formats. The Summit also features small-group breakout discussions, networking in the busy exhibit hall, an extensive poster display, and an array of in-depth short courses and training seminars. For the full listing of speakers at this year's Summit, please click here.
This leading bioprocess meeting is hosted in Boston each summer along the lively and cosmopolitan harbor
waterfront. Hundreds of bioprocess professionals come together each year at the Summit to share practical
solutions for today’s laboratory challenges with researchers from around the world. Please visit the website www.bioprocessingsummit.com for more information and to register.
High-throughput Miniaturized Bioreactors for Cell Culture Process Developmen...KBI Biopharma
Decreasing the timeframe for cell culture process development has been a key goal towards accelerating biopharmaceutical development. Automated Micro-scale Bioreactors (ambrTM) is an advanced micro bioreactor system with miniature single-use bioreactors with a 9-15mL working volume controlled by an automated workstation. This system was compared to conventional bioreactor systems in terms of its performance for the production of a monoclonal antibody and a non-antibody molecule in recombinant Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell lines.
The miniaturized bioreactor system was found to produce cell culture profiles that matched across scales to 3L, 15L and 200L stirred tank bioreactors. Moreover, changes to important process parameters in ambrTM resulted in predictable cell growth, viability and titer changes, which were in good agreement to historical data from the larger scales. ambrTM was found to successfully reproduce variations in temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH conditions similar to the larger bioreactor systems. Additionally, the miniature bioreactors were found to react well to perturbations in pH and dissolved oxygen through adjustments to the PID control loop. Overall, the studies demonstrate the utility of the ambrTM system as a high throughput system for cell culture process development.

LEGO® Serious Play®. How To Solve Your Business Challenges PlayfullyMichael Tarnowski
LEGO® Serious Play® (LSP) is a structured and facilitated workshop method for strategic decision making and problem resolution in business environments.
LSP answers questions rephrasing the business topics. The models built and their stories shared by the builders are the answers. LSP is a playful and still serious way to create new insights and to develop innovative ideas.
15 tips about lego serious play methodologyPaco Prieto
Lego Serious Play es una metodología extraordinariamente robusta, basada en el juego serio y que permite a las organizaciones establecer un entorno de colaboración y de participación entre los miembros del grupo de trabajo.
Está muy indicada para grupos orientados a la definición de estrategias, compartir visiones y misiones, fortalecer o cohesionar grupos de trabajo, impulsar la creatividad de los grupos y en definitiva establecer dinámicas de trabajo innovadoras que rompan inercias pre-establecidas en los equipos.
Hay una serie de recomendaciones que tenemos que tener siempre presente en esta metodología, y que quedan reflejados en esta presentación.

10 Insightful Quotes On Designing A Better Customer ExperienceYuan Wang
In an ever-changing landscape of one digital disruption after another, companies and organisations are looking for new ways to understand their target markets and engage them better. Increasingly they invest in user experience (UX) and customer experience design (CX) capabilities by working with a specialist UX agency or developing their own UX lab. Some UX practitioners are touting leaner and faster ways of developing customer-centric products and services, via methodologies such as guerilla research, rapid prototyping and Agile UX. Others seek innovation and fulfilment by spending more time in research, being more inclusive, and designing for social goods.
Experience is more than just an interface. It is a relationship, as well as a series of touch points between your brand and your customer. Here are our top 10 highlights and takeaways from the recent UX Australia conference to help you transform your customer experience design.

As humans, we never fail to think that we are highly intelligent beings, and that we are mentally superior than any other creatures found on Earth.
Well, that...... may be true.
However, we can be equally stupid and dumb too.
Worse still, we don't even realize it - in terms of how we can make erroneous judgments, decisions and choices, based on how our mind processes and filters information, as well as how our belief system works.
As intriguing and exciting this topic is to me, I find it difficult to illustrate the concepts involve, and that took me nearly 6 months to complete this work. (The Planning Fallacy in play?!) Throughout writing this deck, I've made a total of 8 major revisions before coming to this final piece.
I hope you'll find this deck both interesting and useful!
