Special Invitation
Biofilm Science & Technology Meetings
Partnership with the CBE offers direct access to emerging advances in biofilm science and technology. A highly productive means of access is via the two key conferences that CBE hosts each year. CBE's regulatory pathways meeting facilitates dialogue between industry and government regulators on the topic of product development and regulatory guidelines. And, each summer, CBE showcases its latest research advancements at the Montana Biofilm Meeting in Bozeman. Additionally, members are eligible to participate in, at no charge, the CBE's biofilm methods workshop, which proceeds its summer meeting.
Meetings are open to all members and CBE research collaborators (non-member companies may visit once to preview the Industrial Associate program).
About CBE meetings:
- Our Montana Science and Technology Meeting provides detailed, up-to-date, reporting of CBE projects and research strategy (specific industry sponsored projects may be excluded depending on the status of the project). Reporting includes written summaries, posters and presentations on the research.
- Our regulatory pathways meeting provides an opportunity for representatives from industry, academia, and government agencies to present relevant research and understand each other’s perspectives. The meeting is organized in a presentation and discussion format to highlight both challenges and opportunities in the development of antibiofilm technologies relevant to medical devices and products impacting public health. More about CBE regulatory pathways meeting
- CBE meetings provide opportunities for the Industrial Associate members to offer written and oral guidance on the CBE research, education and industrial programs.
- Our meetiongs offer in-depth one-on-one or small group meetings with CBE researchers and students to focus on specific research, application and educational needs of the Industrial Associate.
- CBE's summer meeting features a workshop on biofilm methods that includes hands-on laboratory instruction as well as presentations and materials on standard methods for growth, evaluation of treatments, and the difference between kill and removal.
