Indo-US Workshop on "Cell Factories" to be held in Mumbai, India

该奖项由分子和细胞生物科学生物科学部和化学、生物、环境和运输系统部的工程部门联合资助，将汇集来自美国和印度的领先科学家和生物工程师，开发一种优化的细胞系统，用于生产工业相关的化学品和产品，使用源自生物学和工程学理论原理的方法。预期的结果之一将是发展平行的战略伙伴关系，以促进研究合作和学生和博士后交流机会。该研讨会将于2016年3月18日至20日在印度孟买的印度理工学院举行。除了来自特定亚洲国家的研究人员外，来自美国和印度的大约30名具有系统和合成生物学领域专业知识的高级研究人员将出席会议。本次研讨会的成果是除了创建实现本次研讨会总体目标所必需的基础设施之外，还将开发战略协作和教育机会。

This award, funded jointly the Biological Sciences Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences and the Engineering Division of Chemical, Biological, Environmental, and Transport Systems Division, will bring together leading scientists and bioengineers from the US and India to develop an optimize cellular systems for the productions of industrially relevant chemicals and products using approaches derived from theoretical principles of biology and engineering. One of the anticipated outcomes will be the development of parallel strategic partnerships for research collaborations and student and postdoctoral exchange opportunities. The workshop will be held March 18-20, 2016 at the India Institute of Technology in Mumbai, India. Approximately 30 senior researchers with expertise in the fields of systems and synthetic biology from the US and India will be in attendance in addition to researchers from select Asian countries. The outcomes of this workshop is to develop strategic collaborative and educational opportunities in addition to creating an infrastructure that will be necessary to realize the overarching goals of this workshop.
