Thank you for your interest in attending the Early Careers Preconference (ECP) at Cell Culture Engineering XIX. Selected attendees will arrive one day early (Saturday afternoon) and participate in activities focused on industrial and academic career development within the cell culture sector.

Planned activities include:
  • Introductory early-careers course lectures in key, technical topics faced by the industry today
  • Workshops focused on successful interviewing skills, securing academic research funding and establishing collaborative research programs.
  • Networking with industry and academic leaders focused on professional development
As a small group, we will have the opportunity to dig deeply into these aspects and how they relate to the early years of one’s career within the cell culture community.

On Sunday afternoon, we will transition into the main conference with a selection of rapid-fire poster highlights on the main podium, followed by a networking activity leading up to the CCEXIX opening keynote talk.
