Support for Metabolic Engineering Conference

9612506斯蒂芬诺普洛斯这次会议的目的是为代谢工程领域提供一个一致的定义，组织目前可用于代谢网络分析的数学、计算和实验工具，并审查该领域的各种应用。目前还没有其他论坛来讨论这一问题，通过促进代谢工程不同学科之间的相互作用将会有很大的收获。具体地说，已计划就下列主题举行会议，以涵盖当前的研究活动：(1)用于生产新产品(生物聚合物、聚酮)的代谢工程，(2)代谢工程在燃料、化学品和材料生产中的应用，(3)植物的代谢工程，(4)基因组和代谢工程，(5)细胞内蛋白质运输和细胞周期分析的代谢工程，(6)环境应用，以及(7)器官功能和治疗设计的代谢工程。***

9612506 Stephanopoulos The objective of this conference is to provide a consensus definition of the field of Metabolic Engineering, organize the mathematical, computational and experimental tools presently available for the analysis of metabolic networks, and review the diverse applications of the field. There is no other forum for this at the present time and there is much to be gained by catalyzing interactions among different disciplines of Metabolic Engineering. Specifically, sessions on the following topics have been planed to cover current research activity: (1) metabolic engineering for the production of novel products (biopolymers, polyketides), (2) metabolic engineering applications in fuels, chemical and materials production, (3) metabolic engineering in plants, (4) genomics and metabolic engineering, (5) metabolic engineering of intracellular protein trafficking and cell cycle analysis, (6) environmental applications, and (7) metabolic engineering of organ function and therapy design. ***
