Society for Biological Engineering (SBE)

WHO ARE WE?

The Society for Biological Engineering (SBE) is a technological community of AIChE and works together with the Food, Pharmaceutical and Bioengineering Divison (Divison 15) to organize events for biological engineers at AIChE annual meetings. SBE aims to promote the integration of biology with engineering and realize its benefits throguh bioprocessing, biomedical, and biomolecular applications.

1. Connecting People
   
   • To make the AIChE Society for Biological Engineering the professional association of choice for engineers and applied scientists with interest in the broad area of biological engineering
   • To provide opportunities for the succesful interaction of engineers and scientists.
   
   
2. Cultivating Knowledge
   
   • To develop products and services which are cost effective, relevant, and bring value to the broad biological engineering community.
   
   
3. Catalyzing the future
   
   • To infuse awareness of biological engineering among all functions and activities of AIChE, in particular: continuing education, membership, government relations, meeting programming (especially co-programming alliances with other organizations) and publications.
   • To raise interest, understanding, and recognition of engineers' and scientists' roles in biological engineering.

• SBE provides an international professional network. Share ideas and experiences with your colleagues from around the world.
• SBE members receive discounts on leading biological engineering conferences.
• SBE provides news that is relevant and what you need to know. Members receive SBE's monthly e-newsletter and the semiannual BioSupplement to Chemical Engineering Progress.
• Access to first-hand information from academic and industry experts on the leading edge of biological engineering discovery and application is readily available through SBE.
• SBE provides a voice in education, employment and technology advancement topics.
