Now available: The first print edition of Bioprocessing News​

With pride, we present the very first issue of Bioprocessing News – the print edition of our online platform. What started digitally as a source of news and background stories now takes on a tangible form. Print offers space for deeper insight, context, and for connecting developments that together shape our field.

It is no coincidence that this inaugural issue is fully dedicated to the new international initiative surrounding Single-Use Event Basel 2026. Basel has long been a key hub within the life sciences sector. The collaboration between partners from Switzerland and beyond highlights the growing maturity and international scope of single-use technologies in bioprocessing.

Single-use has evolved into an integral component of modern bioprocesses. It enables flexibility, accelerates scale-up, and supports new production models. At the same time, it raises important questions about robustness, data integration, sustainability, and digital transformation. This is precisely where Single-Use Event Basel 2026 positions itself: at the intersection of industry, technology, and science.

In this issue, we feature interviews with four of the event’s keynote speakers: Samanta Cimitan, Karlheinz Landauer, Christoph Herwig, and Moritz von Stosch. Their perspectives illustrate how rapidly bioprocessing is evolving, and how closely data, AI, engineering, and biology are becoming intertwined.

This edition also provides an overview of the event program, background information on the initiative, and a selection of the latest developments in bioprocessing and single-use technology.

With Bioprocessing News, we aim to contribute to knowledge sharing and connection within the community. This first issue marks a beginning – and an invitation to move forward together.
