Metabolic Engineering (July 27-28)
Dive deep into metabolic engineering applications for high-volume, low-cost chemical and materials production. Explore cutting-edge systems approaches with guidance from industry experts in biotechnology and biomanufacturing.
This two-day course will focus on metabolic engineering as applied to high volume/low-cost chemicals and materials and the unique choices and approaches that tend to work in this area. A world class group of instructors from academia and industry will cover the agenda in an interactive format with case studies throughout.
Program objectives:
Gain an appreciation of the distinctive features of applying 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.
Develop an historical perspective on the field, and a practical perspective gleaned from exposure to successful and unsuccessful endeavors.
Through case studies, 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
