on Advanced Biological Engineering(ISABE’2012)
Engineering from Cells to Bioconsortia

Biological engineering and bioprocess technology are becoming enabling
technological platform for green production, low carbon economy, health care andenvironment-benign society. Aiming at promotion of the international exchange andcooperation in above mentioned fields, the 2012 International Symposium on Advanced
Biological Engineering (ISABE’2012) will be held in Guilin, Guangxi, China, which is afamous and beautiful city in China, from October 25h to 29th, 2012. ISABE’2012 isorganized by Tsinghua University, China, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, andGuangxi Academy of Sciences, China. Scope of ISABE’2012 will cover the academic
research activities and industrial practices in biological engineering, including industrial
biotechnology, nano-biotechnology, biomedical and biopharmaceuticals technology,
environmental biotechnology, biofuels and bioenergy technology, and foodbiotechnology.
On behalf of the organizing committee, we are honored to welcome all of you toISABE’2012. It will be a great pleasure to refresh our memories of the established ISABE inthe past, share the up-to-date advances in both fundamental researches and engineering
practices, and to project the areas where we may contribute to our better life and planet.
