Zurich / New Orleans, March 2018.
Prof. Massimo Morbidelli, co-founder of ChromaCon and professor at ETH Zurich, is the recipient of the 2018 ACS Award in Separations Science and Technology. The prize from the American Chemical Society recognizes achievements in the development of novel implementations of modern advancements in the field of separation science and technology with particular emphasis on industrial applications. Prof. Morbidelli has advanced the field of biomanufacturing with research towards continuous and integrated processing solutions. These techniques greatly increase the efficiency of production processes and thus help to drive down production costs for biopharmaceuticals. Many of the innovations that came out of his lab, including MCSGP and CaptureSMB, are today marketed by ChromaCon and its scale-up partner LEWA.
