Welcome from the Conference Co-Chairs

摘要

It is our great pleasure to welcome you all to Biarritz, France for the Metabolic Engineering IX Conference. ECl's Metabolic Engineering is the longest running conference series of its kind, held every two years. This conference again emphasizes the interaction between cutting edge scientific developments and its rapid and successful transfer to sustainable industrial processes that help solving problems in the fields of supply of energy, particularly biofuels, of biomaterials, food and feed ingredients as well as compounds of pharmaceutical interest. The conference covers systems biology, synthetic biology, biochemical engineering, tools and methods, and emerging techniques, drugs, biofuels, biorefinery, and microbial and mammalian systems in the context of metabolic engineering. We hope that you will enjoy the state-of-the-art science and technology in metabolic engineering that will be shared at the conference. This conference will be a successful showcase of what we have done and what we can do with metabolic engineering and synthetic biology for the green growth of our world.
