Metabolic Engineering IV: Applied System Biology October 6–11, 2002 Il Ciocco, Castel7ecchio Pascoli (Tuscany), Italy This continuing conference series on the interdisciplinary field of metabolic engineering provides a new window into quantitative analysis and synthesis of metabolic networks. The increasing awareness of metabolic engineering in both the academic and industrial scene has been caused by some critical problems of modern molecular biology and recombinant DNA technology. The two most important elements of metabolic engineering, quantitative physiology (analysis) and metabolic design (synthesis), are aimed to address these problems. Concepts and methodologies of metabolic engineering have potential value in direct application of metabolic design of cellular systems for the degradation of recalcitrant pollutants, production processes, and cell-based and gene therapies, which could provide critical insight in many areas of medicine. The Conference Chair is Professor Jens Nielsen (Center for Process Biotechnology, Technical University of Denmark). The Co-Chairs are Professor James Liao (University of California Los Angeles, Chemical Engineering Department), Dr. Kristala Jones Prather (Bioprocess Research & Development, Merck & Company, Inc.), and Dr. Sheri Nidositko (Bioprocess Research & Development, Merck & Company, Inc.). Additional information about this Conference – and a registration form – can be found at the Conference’s web site: http://www.engfnd.org/2ay.html. The United Engineering Foundation is located at Three Park Avenue, 27th Floor, New York, NY 10016-5902, USA; Tel.: + 1-212-591-7836, fax: + 1-212-591-7441, E-mail: [email protected], web: www.engfnd.org.
