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.
