This volume contains the technical papers presented at the international symposium entitled "Processing and Fabrication of Advanced Materials VIII", held in Singapore in 1999. This was the eighth in a series of symposia bringing together engineers and researchers from industry, academia and national laboratories, working on aspects related to the processing, fabrication and characterization of advanced materials, to present and discuss their latest findings. The proceedings also contain technical papers presented at two special symposia on biomaterials and magnesium technology.

In the wake of rapid advances in genetic technologies, new products continue to be developed to help improve human health and quality of life. Summarizing state-of-the art bioprocessing methods, Novel Bioprocessing Technology for Production of Biopharmaceuticals and Bioproducts presents a concise exploration of the latest developments in bioprocessing for applications in both the biopharmaceutical and biochemical industries. Including case study reviews of six milestone byproducts, the authors provide industrial and academic researchers and development scientists and students with a...
