I was invited to attend the DoE's Genomic Science program meeting for PI's in Washington DC last week and hear some fascinating talks relevant to microbial systems engineering.
The GSP pursues fundamental research to understand, predict, manipulate, and design plant and microbial systems for innovations in renewable energy, insights into environmental processes, and biotechnological breakthroughs supporting the U.S. bioeconomy. The projects in environmental microbiomes were particularly fascinating.
The White House, Washington DC, USA. (The meeting was NOT held here).
I was hosted by Professor Nina Lin from the University of Michigan where we presented our work on "Developing, Understanding, and Harnessing Modular Carbon/Nitrogen-Fixing Tripartite Microbial Consortia for Versatile Production of Biofuel and Platform Chemicals"
