Metabolic Engineering Workshop (July 27-28, 2026)
Join BioMADE for a deep dive into Metabolic Engineering! This interactive course is designed to equip you with the latest tools, techniques, and insights to accelerate your career in biomanufacturing. Register here!
Program Overview
This two-day course will focus on metabolic engineering as applied to high volume/low-cost chemicals and materials production, and the unique choices and approaches that work in this area. You’ll explore cutting-edge systems approaches with guidance from industry experts in biotechnology and biomanufacturing. You will:
Be able to immediately apply new tools and techniques directly to your organization's challenges.
Learn how to apply biotechnology and metabolic engineering in large-scale, industrial projects.
Survey the tools used in industrial biotechnology, and learn how systems approaches – in biology and engineering – interact to define and provide direction for experimentation.
Gain practical perspectives on the field from exposure to successful and unsuccessful endeavors.
Understand the interplay between biology, engineering, and economic requirements, and how theoretical and empirical approaches are used to move projects forward.
Who should attend?
At-the-bench metabolic engineers and individuals considering entering this area
Fermentation scientists, engineers, biochemists, bioinformaticians, and others who interact and work with metabolic engineering teams
Management personnel seeking to understand the unique context of industrial biotechnological projects
