Conversations on Metabolic Engineering: towards a new partnership with nature
We are happy to announce the second in our series of discussions on the topic of ‘Conversations on Metabolic Engineering’. For this session we bring together experts from regenerative architecture, science journalism, molecular microbiology and complex systems to discuss metabolic engineering in a new partnership with nature. The discussion will be hosted in person at the Salón de Actos del Real Jardín Botánico, Madrid, and online. The conversation is set as part of SynBio4Flav, a H2020-funded project aiming to provide a cost-effective alternative to current flavonoid production.
