Biochemical Engineering XI: Molecular Diversity in Discovery and Bioprocessing Conference to be held July 25-30, 1999 in Park City, Utah

本提案寻求对工程基金会主办的上述会议的支持。主席是德克萨斯大学的乔治教授和默克公司的史蒂文·李博士。该系列会议有助于解决涉及研究和教育的关键生物工程问题。1997年5月18日至23日在加拿大卡纳纳斯基斯举行的生化工程X，有来自18个国家的176名与会者参加，其中60%来自工业界，其余主要来自学术界。它是生物工程研究界的主要会议之一。1999年会议的主题是“发现和生物加工中的分子多样性”。 会议的主要议题包括：生物活性小分子的发现和生产大分子的发现和设计利用微生物多样性分子多样性的生物信息学复杂生物制品的生产分子发现和生物加工的新分析工具高通量生物加工会议将为美国研究人员提供一个与该领域的外国科学家建立联系的极好机会，其中许多科学家来自拥有广泛生物工程技术的国家，例如，日本

This proposal seeks support for the above meeting sponsored by the Engineering Foundation. The chairpersons are Prof. George Georgiou of the University of Texas and Dr. Steven Lee of Merck. This conference series has been instrumental in addressing key bioengineering issues involving research and education. Biochemical Engineering X, held May 18-23, 1997 in Kananaskis, Canada, was attended by 176 attendees from 18 countries, with 60% from industry and the rest primarily from academia. It is one of the premier meetings for the bioengineering research community. The theme of the 1999 conference is "Molecular Diversity in Discovery and Bioprocessing". Among the key sessions are:Discovery and Production of Bioactive Small MoleculesDiscovery and Design of MacromoleculesExploiting Microbial DiversityBioinformatics for Molecular DiversityProduction of Complex BiologicalsNew Analytical Tools for Molecular Discovery and BioprocessingHigh Throughput Bioprocessing.The conference will provide an excellent opportunity for U.S. researchers to network with foreign scientists in the field, many of whom come from countries with extensive bioengineering technology, e.g., Japan.
