Singapore may be the second smallest country is Asia, but it packs a powerful punch for the chemical and biotech industries.
On August 4th, AIChE and its Society for Biological Engineering hosted a reception for members in the country. This was the last night of a successful 2010 ICBN conference, mentioned below. The reception was a great networking opportunity especially for graduate students and post-docs.

In addition to Singapore, members came from India, the U.S., Malaysia, UK, and Korea.
The location was the beautiful Sky Gardens atop the Singapore government's engineering headquarters, Fusionopolis.
Members enjoyed vast views from Jurong Island and the Singapore Flyer to the new ship-shaped casino (Marina Bay Sands) while they met and talked with other engineers. ExxonMobil, Mitsui, and Shell members even pointed out their chemical plants.
The 5th SBE International Conference on Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (ICBN 2010) was a big success. It was held at the Biopolis in Singapore from August 1-4, 2010 and chaired by Professor Jackie Ying. Over 300 delegates from around the world convened at this multidisciplinary conference co-organized by the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) and SBE.

This series highlights the learning that new ChE professionals need that isn’t taught in school. They’ll describe the types of responsibilities they've had in their work to date, as well as the skills or expertise they needed or had to learn that go beyond what they learned as students. You’ll also hear from their mentor or a senior person offering their perspective on the skills or expertise that new professionals must learn.
Biomanufacturing is evolving with the help of automation, data integration, and high-throughput tools. In this post, Beckman Coulter Life Sciences shares how their technologies are helping researchers accelerate DBTL cycles, improve scalability, and support sustainability.
Nearly 125 attendees from academia, industry, and the public sector gathered to discuss work at the forefront of regenerative engineering, medical biotechnology, genomics and genetics, computational and systems biology, and more.
Dr. Sang Yup Lee discusses his work, the field's impact on industrial applications, and the upcoming Metabolic Engineering Conference where he'll deliver his award lecture.
