Dear Bjarne:
Thanks for the invitation. Here is a title and a short abstract.

__________________________________________________________________
Application of Neural Networks and Principal Component Analysis
in Biotechnology Based Industries

Professor M. N. Karim
Department of Chemical & Bioresource Engineering
Colorado State University
Fort Collins, CO 80523
e-mail: karim@engr.colostate.edu


Abstract:

In biotechnology industries, either in process development or
production scale, a large amount of data is generated.  Data based
analysis tools are useful for prediction and optimization purposes. 
In this presentation, fundamentals of NN and PCA techniques will be
discussed.  The main  focus of the presentation will be on why and how
to use these tools.  Case studies dealing with various microbial
processes such as mammalian and bacterial cell culture processes will
used to illustrate the benefits of using these methods
