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

由生物技术、生物化学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八届代谢工程国际会议（ME VIII）。代谢工程（八）2010年：代谢工程的绿色增长。 矩阵系统方法是在国际工程会议（联合工程基金会会议计划的后继计划）的主持下组织的。主席是Sang Yup Lee博士（韩国KAIST），联合主席是Elmar Heinzle教授（萨尔兰大学，德国）和Mervyn de Souza博士（嘉吉公司）。学术价值：代谢工程会议是由工程基金会（现ECI）赞助的与生物技术相关的几个会议系列中的第一个，20年前开始，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。这些会议系列一直在解决当代的技术进步，工程研究和教育问题的工具。代谢工程会议作为代谢工程界的首要会议。第八届代谢工程会议将继续成为一个领先的会议，分享过去两年在代谢工程领域取得的最先进的发展和成就。代谢工程VIII的主题是代谢工程的绿色增长。本次会议将举办多场会议，综合系统生物学、合成生物学、生物化学工程、工具和方法、新兴技术、医疗保健、生物燃料、生物炼制、环境生物技术、微生物系统、哺乳动物系统、植物系统以及其他学科和应用领域的最新成就。会议组织者预计，会议将提供最先进的国家和代谢的未来方向的全面覆盖工程.事实上，代谢工程会议是科学家和工程师的首要论坛，他们处于代谢工程所有研究方向的前沿。由此产生的思想的交叉施肥丰富和加强了整个学科。预计将有来自15个不同国家的300名与会者参加。

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.
