1439244 Gill, Ryan T. This proposal seeks support for the Xth International Conference on Metabolic Engineering (ME-X) to be held in Vancouver, British Columbia. The Metabolic Engineering Conference is 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 theme of this year's conference is biological design and synthesis. The Conference is one of the first among several conference series related to biotechnology that started 20 years ago as an Engineering Foundation conference with focus on recombinant DNA technology. It has been the first conference with explicit focus on the application of recombinant DNA technology to the engineering of microorganisms for industrial processes. This metabolic engineering relies now on the tools commonly referred to as synthetic biology and systems biology. This conference has been instrumental in addressing issues contemporary to technological advancements, engineering research and to education.The scope of this international conference is to bring together influential established researchers, young investigators, industrial researchers and practitioners, and graduate students to assess the contributions and future opportunities of metabolic engineering with focus on biological design and synthesis. The support will enable attendance by graduate students, postdocs, academic scientists and engineers and industrial researchers that will benefit from interactions with the international community of biotechnology researchers.Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the Conference, the award by the Biotechnology, Biochemical, and Biomass Engineering Program of the CBET Division is co-funded by the Systems and Synthetic Biology Program of the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biology.

小行星1439244 该提案寻求对将在不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华举行的第十届代谢工程国际会议（ME-X）的支持。 代谢工程会议是一个领先的会议，用于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。今年会议的主题是生物设计与合成。该会议是与生物技术相关的几个会议系列中的第一个，20年前开始作为工程基础会议，重点是重组DNA技术。这是第一次明确关注重组DNA技术在工业过程微生物工程中的应用的会议。这种代谢工程现在依赖于通常被称为合成生物学和系统生物学的工具。本次会议的范围是将有影响力的研究人员、年轻的研究人员、工业研究人员和从业人员以及研究生聚集在一起，评估代谢工程的贡献和未来的机会，重点关注生物设计和合成。该支持将使研究生、博士后、学术科学家和工程师以及工业研究人员能够出席会议，这些研究人员将从与国际生物技术研究人员的互动中受益。由于会议的跨学科性质，生物技术、生物化学、CBET部门的生物质工程项目由分子和细胞生物学部门的系统和合成生物学项目共同资助。
