At this
year's Executive Roundtable, analytica 2010 took on a highly topical subject
for science and industry, i.e. personalized medicine. Is it just
hype, or is it really an alternative for the future?
There was a
lively discussion about the advantages, disadvantages, opportunities and risks and
resolved and unresolved questions associated with personalized medicine. The
roundtable discussion was moderated by Susanne Kutter, a biology graduate and
Editor for Technology + Know-how at "WirtschaftsWoche" magazine.

Biotechnology is a key technology of the 21st
century, and it continues to increase in importance. The use of modern
biotechnology techniques has become indispensible in industrial processes.
Participating clusters and their primary areas of expertise:
Biokatalyse2021 Cluster Systematic research
of industrially relevant biocatalysts from microorganisms Search for completely
new enzymes based on innovative screening techniques
CLIB2021 Cluster Promote change in the
petrochemicals industry toward renewable raw materials Focus on central
material groups in the chemicals industry such as monomers and polymers
CIB Initiative Biotechnology
techniques to promote the more climate-friendly use of resources and the
development of new products in conjunction with industry partners Focus on fields of
enzyme catalysis, production of microbial substances and purification processes
in bioreactors
Biopolymere Cluster Search for new approaches to bio-based basic
chemicals such as polymers and new properties for materials, e.g. in automobile
manufacturing
IPB Cluster Initiative Bio-refinery concept: resource efficient
conversion of biomasses with wood and fiber components into intermediate and
end products that can be used in industry
Industrial Biotechnology met with a very
positive response among visitors: 83 percent gave the Focus Day a rating of
good to excellent.
Organized by GoingPublic Media AG, the information event was held in the
Biotech Forum in Hall A3 and included panel discussions and presentations on
the latest financing trends in the biotech sector. New was the elevator pitch,
where start-ups make brief presentations to investors.
Companies
of all sizes gave interested applicants a multifaceted, practice-oriented
program of presentations on topics such as choosing a profession, job
applications and careers in the scientific/technical sectors.
Highlight:
„Live interview“
Jobtour
The Jobtour
allowed applicants to stop by the jobvector Careers Stand and the stands of
participating companies and speak directly with Human Resource managers.
Participating
companies
Bio-M
Dionex (Europe) Management
Eppendorf
Hexal
i3 Pharma Resourcing
Kelly Scientific Resources
Life Technologies
Miltenyi Biotech
MorphoSys
Pharmexx
Roche Diagnostics

Job Day also included individualapplicant-folder checks, allowing
applicants to have their application documents evaluated for their strengths
and weaknesses. Bei dem
- "jobvector and the companies that presented
themselves as employers at career day are very satisfied with the overwhelming
number of applicants – from college graduates to industry professionals."
Students Day addressed the industry's youngest members. Specialists from
the GDCh, GBM and VBIO were on hand to inform interested
high-school graduates about the various university degrees and specialty fields
that are available, what their prerequisites are, and the employment prospects
following graduation. nanoTruck:
"Jobtalk: Nanotechnology – Careers with a future" The nanoTruck sponsored by the Federal Ministry
for Education and Research (BMBF) was at analytica 2010 on March 25 and 26.
Attractions included the following:
Job Talks - Nano-experts from the BMBF initiative reported on current courses of instruction and training programs in the nano-technology sector.
Live exhibit demonstrations showed how science and product development are closely linked.
Information from experts explaining how nanotechnology can help in
environmental technology, how hundreds of medical tests can be conducted on a
surface the size of a fingernail and how specially coated nanoparticles can be
used to combat cancer sores.
Background:
"nanoTruck – High-tech from the nano-cosmos"
is a nationwide information campaign on the topic of nanotechnology that takes
this interdisciplinary field out of scientific laboratories and directly to the
people. It revolves around the nanoTruck, a double-decker exhibition vehicle
that – as a laboratory, an interactive exhibit and an information and dialog
platform with a team of experienced scientists – presents nanotechnology to
young people and the general public!
Anyone who
wants to hold their own on today's job market and in professional life must
continue to educate themselves. Germany's
Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) refers to this market
development as "lifelong learning".
Together with Klinkner & Partner, a consulting firm that specializes in the
laboratory-technology sector, analytica 2010 offered the following training
events:
Introduction to coaching
Introduction to QM
The basics of gas chromatography
Laboratory performance indicators for controlling and benchmarking
HPLC method development and optimization
Hygiene and monitoring
The basics of infrared spectroscopy
Legal certainty in the laboratory
Degree
program in laboratory and quality management
In keeping with the slogan
"You ask, the experts answer", Klinkner & Partner had experts
available at its stand in Hall A1 to provide visitors information about various
technical and personnel topics such as measuring airborne germs, GLP
inspections in compliance with REACH and CLP regulations, trainee programs on
executive's future social responsibilities and integrated management systems in
the sectors for environmental protection and occupational safety.
- "The majority of our seminars were booked to capacity long before
the beginning of the fair. Even during analytica we received several inquiries
about participating in this year's courses. Our expectations regarding the
number of participants were exceeded by far. The response was definitely
positive, and we are already receiving initial inquiries for analyitca 2012. That
is why we expect the response at the 2012 fair to be positive and are even
planning to expand the range of courses we are offering."

Partner GmbH
