Interagency Conference on Metabolic Engineering

本次研讨会的目的是展示机构间代谢工程工作组（MEWG）如何支持参与机构的任务。机构代表将介绍代谢工程工作组感兴趣的特定主题的发言人。五位主讲人将讨论与植物细胞、动物和昆虫细胞、微生物细胞、健康科学和计算生物学相关的代谢工程。此外，还将有一位主讲嘉宾。在这些领域的持续研究努力将带来重要的信息，使代谢工程在农业、环境生物技术、能源开发、海洋生物技术、医学等领域的全部潜力得以实现。研讨会定于2004年2月6日在美国国家科学基金会（NSF）举行。本次研讨会所产生的信息可能对MEWG和美国国家科学基金会生物工程与环境系统部的生化工程/生物技术（BEB）项目的规划有用。本次研讨会的信息将被提炼成一份报告，提交给NSF和MEWG。

SheltonBES-0406451The intent of this Workshop is to show how the Interagency Metabolic Engineering Working Group (MEWG) has supported the missions of the participating Agencies. An Agency representative will introduce a Speaker on a particular topic of interest to the Metabolic Engineering Working Group. Five Speakers are scheduled to discuss the Metabolic Engineering associated with Plant Cells, Animal and Insect Cells, Microbial Cells, Health Science and Computational Biology. In addition, there is to be a Keynote Speaker. Continued research efforts in these areas will lead to important information that will enable the realization of the full potential of Metabolic Engineering within Agriculture, Environmental Biotechnology, Energy Development, Marine Biotechnology, Medicine, and beyond. The Workshop is scheduled to be held at the National Science Foundation (NSF) on February 6, 2004. Information generated at this Workshop may be useful for planning purposes for MEWG and the Biochemical Engineering/Biotechnology (BEB) Program in the Bioengineering and Environmental Systems (BES) Division of NSF. Information from this Workshop will be distilled into a report for NSF and the MEWG.
