Metabolic Engineering - Specialty chemicals/materials from renewable resources

Tuesday, August 14, 2012: 1:00 PM-4:30 PM
Georgetown, Concourse Level (Washington Hilton)
Convener:
Kristala L. Jones Prather
New tools, methodologies and pathways in metabolic engineering have brought forth a number of systems for the biological production of chemicals, with many heading towards commercial production. This session will focus on advancements for the microbial production of specialty chemicals and materials from renewable resources.
