In the context of the invited plenary lectures microprocesses in biotechnology were presented at the event. The interested audience was introduced with current results and guidelines in the field. The lecture was held at the 16th event of Doctoral Students of Molecular Biosciences and Biotechnology of Grammar Universities entitled Doc Day in Graz, Austria. Posted in: 16th Doc Day: NAWI Graz Doctoral School of Molecular Biosciences and Biotechnology, July 7th 2016, Graz., 2016, f. 12. During this period, members of the program group gave several other invited lectures (23). The most actual and relevant for future research are: 1. I. Plazl: a) Modelling-based design of bioprocesses at the micro scale, Applications of microbioreactors in bioprocess development, 1st EUROMBR Training Course, September 24 - 28, 2018, Center of Pharmaceutical Engineering, Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany. b) Flow chemistry: process intensification through microreactor technology, Event proceedings, Flow Chemistry India 2018, Mumbai, 17-18 January 2018. 2.

F.04 Increase of the technological level
COBISS.SI-ID: 1537278659The present invention refers to analogues of 1,3-bis(4-nitrophenyl)triazenes, their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and N-acyl derivatives for the treatment of different types of tumours. Said compounds show cytotoxicity at very low concentrations (IC50 0,22 to 12,8 µM), and good solubility. These compounds can be used in the treatment of tumour patients as single drugs or in combination with other cytostatics.
