Dear Colleague:

On behalf of the Scientific Committee it is our pleasure to announce the 2nd Call for Abstracts for the 8th HIC-RPC Bioseparation Conference being held March 3-7, 2013 at the Westin Savannah Harbor Resort in Savannah, Georgia, USA.This conference series, which alternates between Europe and the US, provides a unique forum for in-depth discussions on downstream bioprocessing related to two powerful modes of chromatography: Hydrophobic Interaction and Reversed Phase as well as other novel modes of separations that exploit hydrophobic interactions such as multimodal systems. Two of the highlights of this conference will be keynote talks by Prof. Shekhar Garde (RPI) and Prof. Milton Hearn (Monash) on the paradigm shift that is reshaping our fundamental understanding of how water affects hydrophobic Interactions in protein systems

2nd Call for abstracts

Abstracts on the topics listed below are now being accepted. Oral and poster presentations are welcome. Each abstract should be no more than 150 words. The submission deadline is October 12, 2012.

To submit your abstract, please complete this form.

Abstract topics:

• Industrial Case Studies in HIC, RPC and Multimodal Purifications
• Fundamentals of HIC/RPC/Multimodal Chromatography
• Novel Stationary Phases
• New Engineering Approaches for Downstream Bioprocessing
• Protein Structure, Interactions and Stability
• Antibody Conjugates: Challenges for Bioprocessing
• High Throughput Methodologies
