Metabolic Engineering VIII Conference on Metabolic Engineering (ME VIII) to be held in Jeju Island, Korea, June 13-17, 2010.

这项由生物技术、生化和生物质工程项目颁发的NSF奖项支持美国研究人员和研究生参加将于2010年6月13日至17日在韩国济州岛举行的第8届代谢工程国际会议(ME VIII)。代谢工程(Viii)2010：绿色增长的代谢工程。矩阵系统方法是在国际工程会议(联合工程基金会会议方案的后续方案)的支持下组织的。主席是Sang Yup Lee博士(KAIST，韩国)，联合主席是Elmar Heinzle教授(德国萨尔兰大学)和Mervyn de Souza博士(嘉吉)。智慧：代谢工程会议是由工程基金会(现ECI)赞助的与生物技术有关的系列会议中的第一个会议，最初的标题是重组DNA技术。这是第一次明确将重组DNA技术应用于工业微生物和过程的微生物工程的会议。这些会议系列在解决技术进步、工程研究和教育的当代问题方面发挥了重要作用。新陈代谢工程会议是新陈代谢工程界的首要会议。第八届代谢工程大会将继续成为分享过去两年代谢工程领域最新发展和成就的领先会议。代谢工程VIII的主题是促进绿色增长的代谢工程。会议将结合系统生物学、合成生物学、生化工程、工具和方法、新兴技术、保健、生物燃料、生物精炼、环境生物技术、微生物系统、哺乳动物系统、植物系统等学科和应用的最新成果。广泛的影响：会议组织者预计会议将全面报道代谢工程的最新进展和未来方向。事实上，新陈代谢工程会议是处于新陈代谢工程所有研究方向前沿的科学家和工程师的首要论坛。由此产生的思想交流丰富和加强了整个学科。预计将有来自15个不同国家的300人参加。

This NSF award by the Biotechnology, Biochemical and Biomass Engineering program supports the participation of US investigators and graduate students in the 8th International Conference on Metabolic Engineering (ME VIII) to be held in Jeju Island, Korea, June 13-17, 2010. Metabolic Engineering (VIII) 2010: Metabolic engineering for green growth. A matrix system approach is organized under the aegis of Engineering Conferences International (the successor program to United Engineering Foundation Conferences program). The chairperson is Dr. Sang Yup Lee (KAIST, Korea) and the co-chairs are Prof. Elmar Heinzle (Saarland University, Germany) and Dr. Mervyn de Souza (Cargill).Intellectual Merit:The 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. These conference series have been instrumental in addressing issues contemporary to technological advancements, engineering research and to education.The Metabolic Engineering conference serves as the premier meeting for the metabolic engineering community. The 8th Metabolic Engineering conference will continue to be a leading conference for sharing the state-of-the-art developments and achievements made in the field of metabolic engineering over the last two years. The main theme of Metabolic Engineering VIII is Metabolic Engineering for Green Growth. The conference will have sessions that integrate the recent achievements made in the fields of systems biology, synthetic biology, biochemical engineering, tools and methods, and emerging techniques, healthcare, biofuel, biorefinery, environmental biotechnology, microbial system, mammalian system, plant system, and other disciplines and applications.Broader Impacts:The conference organizers expect that the conference will provide comprehensive coverage of the state of the art and future directions in metabolic engineering. Indeed, Metabolic Engineering meetings are the premier forums for scientists and engineers who are at the cutting edge of all research directions within Metabolic Engineering. The resulting cross-fertilization of ideas enriches and strengthens the discipline as a whole. 300 participants are expected from 15 different countries.
