Applications for Synthetic Biology in Industrial Biotechnology

Friday 29th November 2013

Cineworld: The O2, Peninsula Square, London, UK.

http://www.regonline.co.uk/smallscale12

With their provenance as an excellent source of pharmaceutical, neutraceutical and health promoting chemistries, plant natural products are an attractive target for biotechnological development for industrialization  so as to make them more widely available.  To realize this potential, two strategies are currently being employed whereby the associated metabolic pathways are engineered in planta, or are ectopically expressed in microbial hosts and produced through fermentation.  In both cases it is clear that recent developments in genetics, and our understanding of metabolism are providing us with unprecedented tools to fast-track these ambitions.  In addition, the advent of synthetic biology, where approaches more commonly employed in engineering are applied to design and optimize bioprocesses has much to offer industrial biotechnology in the future.

In this meeting a series of metabolic engineering programs  representing each of the differing strategies for natural product biosynthesis will be presented and the potential merits of plant Vs microbial industrial biotechnology discussed, along with projections as to how each might benefit from synthetic biology based approaches.  In addition to reviewing the latest development in plant natural product biochemistry and molecular biology, the meeting will be formative in shaping thinking as to how and where new approaches like synthetic biology can be best applied in industrial biotechnology in the coming years.

In Situ Hybridisation Symposium 2013

Thursday 10th October 2013

Cineworld: The O2, Peninsula Square, London, UK.

http://www.regonline.co.uk/insitu2013

This symposium is dedicated to the discussion of in situ hybridisation (ISH) – its capabilities, difficulties and troubleshooting. This event will be an ideal place to network, establishing lines of communication for the future if you ever need help with setting up the technique and giving you short cuts to improving your results.

Why you should come:  This is a specialist meeting, with no other forum comparable internationally,  as it is rare to have so  many experts in the field, together in one room, giving you unrivalled access, all in one place. Even experienced people who are interested in keeping up with this technique should attend this unique event. 

This event has CPD accreditation.

Pseudotype viruses – applications and troubleshooting event

Wednesday 2nd October 2013

Cineworld: The O2, Peninsula Square, London, UK.

www.regonline.co.uk/pseuVirus2013

Pseudotype viruses are rapidly establishing themselves as important research and diagnostic tools of basic and clinical scientists facilitating the detailed study of individual viral genes, host cell receptors and highly pathogenic viruses, circumventing the need for high-level biosafety containment. The switching of surface envelope proteins expressed on the surface of these pseudotypes enables them to be used as surrogate viruses in neutralization/antiviral screening assays and for the study of cell–virus receptor interactions. This meeting encompasses the many diverse applications of pseudotype technologies from a practical, translational and public health perspective. This event  has CPD accreditation.

Speakers include:

• Dr Nigel James Temperton, Medway School of Pharmacy, The Universities of Greenwich and Kent, Kent
• Dr Janet Daly, Nottingham University, UK
• Dr Simon Scott, Medway School of Pharmacy, University of Kent, UK
• Dr Edward Wright, Westminster University, UK
• Professor Brian Willett, University of Glasgow Scotland – To be confirmed
