IWA Biofilm Technologies conference_Call for papers

Dear colleagues,

The International Water Association, in cooperation with the IWA Biofilm Group, Nanyang Technological University and National University of Singapore, is pleased to invite you to attend IWA BIOFILM TECHNOLOGIES conference.

Don't miss your opportunity to dialogue and network at Biofilm Technologies  conference on 8 - 10 January, 2008 in Singapore. This conference is of the IWA Biofilm Conference Series and serves to discuss scientific and practical aspects of cell aggregation and the processes, where aggregated microbial cells play a major role. This covers biofilm–based technologies and reactors, biofilm processes, biofilm microbiology, biofouling and biocorrosion caused by biofilms. The topics of the conference will be as follows: 

·              Biofilm microbiology and ecology

• Molecular biology of biofilms
• Public health and biosafety of microbial biofilms
• Marine biofilms
• Ships hull biofilms
• Innovative environmental engineering applications of biofilms
• Membrane-associated biofilm processes
• Water treatment using biofilms Wastewater treatment using biofilms
• Biofilms in groundwater and soil bioremediation
• Biofilm treatment of gases
• Modeling, design, and applications of biofilm reactors
• Pilot and full scale biofilm-base processes
• Anaerobic biofilms
• Microbial granules
• Biofouling, biocorrosion, and biodeterioration caused by biofilms
• Biofilms in biosensors and microfluidics
• Bioclogging and biocementation in porous media

Scientific papers as well as well documented case studies are all encouraged for submission.
