2017 Annual Meeting

Session: Poster Session: Bioengineering

This poster session highlights advances in bioengineering research, from both finished and ongoing projects. This includes, but is not limited to, experimental, theoretical, and computational advances in metabolic engineering, protein engineering, synthetic biology, systems biology, and the bioproduction of renewable fuels, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals as well as bioinformatics, bioreactors, fermentation, cell culture, and downstream processing. We encourage the submission of high quality abstracts that describe quantitatively and specifically the research work to be presented.
