Metabolic Engineering VII Conference

Patrick C cirin纽约理工大学/Engineering Conferences International， Inc.代谢工程会议是最早由工程基金会（现为ECI）主办的与生物技术相关的几个系列会议之一，始于20年前，最初的标题是“重组DNA技术”。这是第一次明确关注重组DNA技术在工业微生物和工艺微生物工程中的应用的会议。该形式旨在最大限度地发挥互动作用，并激发与会者之间的讨论。由于过去会议的声誉，来自许多国家的工业界和学术界的科学家和工程师都超额预订了会议。在过去的十年（过去的4次会议）中，平均有来自15个国家的170多名与会者参加了会议，其中40%的与会者来自工业界，其余来自学术界和非营利研究机构。代谢工程会议是代谢工程社区的首要会议。本次会议的重点将是代谢工程在可持续性和健康方面的应用。研究领域包括生物燃料和生物基材料、营养和农业、细胞和组织工程、代谢和传染病。代谢工程（ME）在过去的20年里发展迅速，在生物系统对人类健康的应用、化学品、食品和生物制品的生产以及解决环境问题方面发挥着主导作用。代谢工程师总是以充沛的精力和热情迎接新的挑战和现代生物学。这次国际会议的范围是汇集有影响力的成熟研究人员，年轻的研究人员，工业研究人员和从业者，以及来自过道两侧（工程和生物学）的研究生，以评估代谢工程在全球健康和可持续性领域的贡献和未来的机会。除了全体会议、口头会议和海报会议外，ME VII还将采用研讨会/教程，旨在确定行业需求以及代谢工程研究如何更好地满足这些需求。强烈鼓励研究生和工业研究人员出席。

Patrick C CirinoPolytechnic University of New York/Engineering Conferences International, Inc. CBET-0840761Intellectual MeritThe Metabolic Engineering Conference is one of the first among several conference series related to biotechnology sponsored by the Engineering Foundation (now ECI) and started 20 years ago with the original title "recombinant DNA technology". It has been the first conference with explicit focus of the application of recombinant DNA technology to the engineering of microorganisms for industrial microorganisms and processes. The format is designed to maximize interactions and to stimulate discussion among attendees. Because of the reputation of past conferences, scientists and engineers from industry and academia from many countries oversubscribe the conference. The last ten years (past 4 conferences), the conferences have been attended on the average by more than 170 attendees from 15 countries, with 40% of attendees from industry and the rest from academia and non-profit research organizations.The Metabolic Engineering conference serves as the premier meeting for the metabolic engineering community. The focus of this conference will be on the application of metabolic engineering on Sustainability and Health. The research areas are biofuels and biobased materials, nutrition and agriculture, cell and tissue engineering, and metabolic and infectious diseases.Broader Impacts Metabolic Engineering (ME) has grown dramatically over the last 20 years and has a leading role in the applications of biological systems to human health, production of chemicals, food and biologicals, and solving environmental problems. Metabolic Engineers have always embraced new challenges and modern biology with high energy and enthusiasm. The scope of this international conference is to bring together influential established researchers, young investigators, industrial researchers and practitioners, and graduate students from both sides of the aisle (engineering and biology) to assess the contributions and future opportunities of metabolic engineering in the global areas of health and sustainability. In addition to plenary presentations, oral sessions, and poster sessions, ME VII will also employ workshops/tutorials that will aim to identify the needs of industry and how metabolic engineering research can better address these needs. Attendance by graduate students and industrial researchers is highly encouraged.
