EcoCTs Symposium 10 Oct 2023
EcoCTs Symposium
“Engineering biology for a circular bioeconomy – Towards urban sustainability: EcoCTs“ is a project under CNRS@CREATE with the aim to:
- Explore novel enzyme engineering to create improved enzymatic activities and the spatial structuration of novel synthetic pathways to ensure high efficiency throughput.
- Develop innovative experimental and computational methods to design and pragmatically optimize metabolic pathways.
- Integrate experimental and computational methods for bioprocess optimization.
On Tuesday 10 October EcoCTs and SINERGY will hold a scientific symposium to showcase the science behind the program. Join us for a half day of exciting lectures from researchers from Singapore, France, and the USA.
