Greetings from Henderson, NV!

The hot weather characteristic of summers in Las Vegas has finally broken, so today we began to have the delightful weather characteristic of Las Vegas in the fall and winter. Accordingly, I am writing this e-mail to tell you about the fall 2007 and winter 2008 short courses to be held at Thies Technology in Henderson, NV. The instructor, Dr. Curt Thies, has 43 years of microencapsulation experience. He is Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering, Washington University, St. Louis, where he taught for nearly 30 years and was voted by students as Engineering Professor of the Year four times. He has been teaching his unique microcapsule short courses for 26 years globally. Three courses are coming up.

The How-to-Make Microcapsules course will be held November 14-16, 2007. Dr. Thies has taught this three day course annually since 1981. I believe it is the longest running lab/lecture course in the world devoted exclusively to the hands-on teaching of students about the synthesis of microcapsules by a variety of different techniques. It continues to evolve in order to keep pace with the steadily changing microcapsule technology scene.

The Microcapsules Tutorial/Update course is scheduled for February 21-22, 2008. This two day lecture course focuses on changes in microcapsule formation processes and applications. It includes a discussion of new participants in the field and what is happening from a commercial point of view. Dr. Thies has put much effort into staying abreast of the current literature and the course notes reflect this. It contains many analyses of current references that I believe are most informative.

Due to the major increase in interest in nanotechnology over the past 5-10 years, Dr. Thies recently added a course entitled “How-to-Make Nanocapsules”. This three day lab/lecture course is focused exclusively on the preparation of nanocapsules. This course will be held March 5-7, 2008.

If you or your business is interested in microcapsules or microencapsulation technology, these courses are a most valuable training experience. In addition to 30 years of experience as a university professor, Dr. Thies spent 8 years at NCR as head of basic encapsulation research. This experience combination gives him a broad microcapsule experience base that he shares with his students.

Before closing, I must mention that we are developing a new website at www.thebiotransportlab.com This will provide you convenient access to announcements of our training services and other products we will be introducing. I will keep you posted when it is available.
