Advancing Bioprocessing Science
Join our global community driving innovative research and collaboration.
Welcome to the International Bioprocessing Society
Welcome to the International Bioprocessing Society (IBPROCS). IBPROCS is dedicated to advancing the science and application of bioprocessing—from molecular-scale biotransformations to industrial-scale biomanufacturing. Guided by global priorities in sustainability, health, and circular bioeconomy, our Society brings together interdisciplinary expertise from microbiology, biochemical engineering, synthetic biology, and process analytics to address bioprocessing challenges of both local relevance and worldwide impact.
IBPROCS’s activities are driven by impact-oriented research and innovation aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to good health and well-being (SDG 3), clean water and sanitation (SDG 6), responsible consumption and production (SDG 12), and climate action (SDG 13). Key technical focus areas include upstream and downstream process intensification, continuous biomanufacturing, bioprocess analytical technologies (PAT), fermentation and cell culture systems, enzyme engineering, bioseparation, and waste-to-value bioprocessing. Through these efforts, our Society seeks to improve bioprocess efficiency, reduce manufacturing costs, enhance product quality, and support the transition toward sustainable bio-based industries.
IBPROCS also plays an active role in knowledge exchange by fostering collaboration among academic researchers, process engineers, industrial biomanufacturers, regulatory bodies, and policy makers. These engagements strengthen innovation translation, support workforce development, and extend the societal benefit of bioprocessing advances. Our members contribute through scientific publications, technical conferences, professional training, and industrial advisory services, facilitating the adoption of best bioprocessing practices across pharmaceutical, food, bioenergy, and environmental sectors.
