The programme is now available
The organizers invite you to the international conference on Metabolic and Protein Engineering for Biosynthesis from 13 - 15 November 2024 in Frankfurt. The programme covers research advances in metabolic and protein engineering that is focused on the remodeling or de novo design of biosynthetic pathways and metabolic networks. Topics include remodeling and engineering of primary and secondary metabolism, de novo design of new biosynthetic pathways, protein engineering for pathway design and protein engineering methods.
The programme is available as online version:
Four PhD/PostDoc talks from the poster submissions will be selected for presentation during the evening session on November 13. Notifications will be sent out end of October.

The official language of the conference is English. Simultaneous translation will be not available.
The ideal format for the presentation is 16:9. A notebook and a wireless presenter will be provided. Please bring your presentation slides as PowerPoint or PDF-File on a USB stick. Nevertheless, we kindly ask you to bring your own laptop computer as a backup.

Each lecture is planned for a duration of 25 minutes incl. 5 minutes for discussion. Strict timekeeping will be essential for the smooth running of the conference. We suggest to use a minimum font size of 24 pt for your presentation slides. The duration of a keynote lecture is 45 minutes incl. discussion.
A poster board will be available for each poster, with the poster number attached.
The posters will be shown throughout the whole conference. Please hang up your poster at the beginning of the meeting.
As a major guideline it is proposed to make the poster intelligible in itself, even in the absence of the author. It is suggested to divide the content of each poster into introduction, results and conclusion, with a summary listing the pertinent results and conclusion.
Standard size for posters is 0.85 x 1.2 m (DIN A0 German Standard) vertically oriented.
To ensure that the text is still legible from a distance of 2-3 m, the main text should be written in font size 25-30 pt, marginal information can be slightly smaller with font size 20-25 pt. The title of a poster must be readable from a distance of approx. 5 m (100-200 pt). Subtitles and headings in the text can be written in 50 pt font.
The conference is supported by the Sino-German Center for Research Promotion - a public institution jointly established by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) awarded to Martin Grininger (Goethe University Frankfurt) and Yongjin Zhou (Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, CAS).
