Session 27: Applications of Systems and Synthetic Biology to Metabolic Engineering
Thursday, July 24, 2014: 2:00 PM-5:30 PM
Regency Ballroom D, Second Floor (St. Louis Hyatt Regency at the Arch)
Conveners:
Howard Salis - Penn State University, University Park, PA and Reshma Shetty - Ginkgo Bioworks, Inc., Boston, MA
Systems and Synthetic Biology have accelerated our ability to rationally manipulate metabolism through a diverse toolkit of technologies and methods. This session will illustrate the use of state-of-the-art omics measurements (transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics), rational design and perturbation of pathways and networks, and DNA synthesis/assembly to solve specific metabolic engineering challenges.
