About the lecture

It has been 20 years since the term metabolic engineering was officially introduced. Microorganisms isolated from nature are often inefficient, so metabolic engineering has been employed to improve microbial performance. Recently, metabolic engineering has become more powerful and is now essential in developing superior microorganisms formed from the integration of systems biology with synthetic biology. In his lecture, Prof. Lee will present the general strategies for metabolic engineering of microorganisms. These will be accompanied by many successful examples, including the production of chemicals, fuels and materials. Systems metabolic engineering will also be introduced as an essential technology in making any bioprocess competitive.
