It would not be September without the GEN team taking a trip to Boston to attend the BioProcess International (BPI) meeting. Indeed, John Sterling, GEN’s Editor in Chief, has been attending BPI since its inception! Here, he took a minute away from the talks and expo hall to join Julianna LeMieux, PhD, Deputy Editor in Chief to talk about the first day of the meeting, the sessions they attended, and the trends that they are noticing.
