Marie Dorn wins Best Technical Poster Award at ECI SUT VII conference
25 March 2025
The ECI Single-Use Technologies (SUT) VII conference aims to unite industry and academia to foster collaboration and drive advancements in single-use systems for biomanufacturing. This year's conference was themed "Revolutionizing Manufacturing for Tomorrow's Medicines"
The conference focused on innovations that enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and applicability of single-use technologies in modern bioprocessing.
SUT VII showcased the latest progress in single-use manufacturing, with discussions covering regulatory compliance, advancements in materials and sensors, sustainability efforts, and emerging trends shaping the future of bioprocessing. The program featured real-world applications of single-use technologies in research and manufacturing, highlighting their role in process intensification, continuous processing, and next-generation therapies. By building on the success of previous conferences, SUT VII encouraged collaboration and knowledge-sharing to accelerate the adoption of single-use solutions.
Research initiatives from the UCL Biochemical Engineering Department emphasised the impact of innovative single-use applications on process efficiency and sustainability. Marie Dorn presented a poster on "Transforming bioprocess development: Sustainable resource-efficient perfusion screening with single-use microwell plates", which explored the use of single-use microwell plates in early process development. Her work was recognised with a Poster Prize for Best Technical Poster, highlighting UCL's contributions to advancing single-use bioprocessing through engineering innovation.
