Gordon Research Seminar — Chloroplast Biotechnology

The 2023 Gordon Research Seminar on Chloroplast Biotechnology will present novel research in all areas relevant to engineering chloroplasts to either improve existing functions or provide them with new ones. The technologies discussed will cover the entire range from subtle tweaks in plastid metabolism to complete redesign of the plastid genome, and will include all aspects of modifying organellar genomes, proteomes or metabolomes needed for applications in agriculture, industrial biotechnology or the pharmaceutical sector. Target products to be covered include, for example, biopharmaceuticals (vaccines and therapeutic proteins), industrial enzymes, green chemicals and next-generation biofuels.

Topics: Harnessing the SynBio Revolution for Metabolic Engineering and Enhanced Photosynthesis
