Dear separation and purification sciences community,
the International Symposium and Exhibition on the Purification of Proteins, Peptides and Polynucleotides (ISPPP) cordially invites you to participate in the 42nd edition in November 2023, in the beautiful city of Vienna, Austria.

The symposium aims to bring together researchers from academia and industry as well as young researchers making their first steps into the scientific community.
The vibrant city of Vienna is a treasure trove that is well worth a visit. Vienna boasts a rich imperial history which can be explored in one of the many palaces, such as Schönbrunn, Belvedere or the Hofburg.
Vienna’s exceptional cultural programmes can be discovered in numerous concert halls and museums throughout the city.


Vienna is one of the leading biotechnology research centers in Europe and the second largest university city in the German-speaking world. A center of learning that will never lose its inquisitive nature.

Conference Chair
The scientific committee, headed by Dr. Nico Lingg, is looking forward to welcoming you in Vienna as an active ISPPP 2023 participant.
Nico Lingg is senior scientist at the Austrian Centre of Industrial Biotechnology and at the Institute of Bioprocess Science and Engineering (BOKU). In the past, he has worked at the Bioprocessing Technology Institute, Singapore for two years. His research focuses on the design of platform processes in biochemical engineering. The main applications are the production and purification of biomacromolecules as biopharmaceuticals. This includes peptides, proteins and bionanoparticles from various sources such as microbial fermentation, cell culture or human plasma.
