1st Annual Meeting FA1006-COST Action: PlantEngine I: Current state and vision for the future

About the event

Categories:: Biology

Keywords:: Highvaluenaturalproducts

Dear Participant,

             A tremendous amount of knowledge has been gained during the last decades about the biosynthetic capacity of plants and the pathways leading to the formation of plant natural products (PNPs), many of which are of high relevance as pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals for industries. To fully exploit the capacity of engineering plants for the production of high value PNPs, the FA1006-COST Action"Plant Metabolic Engineering for High Value Products” will support and enhance a Pan-European network which will amalgamate resources, define target pathways and prioritize compounds, disseminate novel technologies and applications, set standards for computational support, and develop synthetic approaches in plant metabolic engineering. Due to its multidisciplinary approach, this Action will initiate a European network of experienced as well as early stage researchers which will serve as a base for future research collaborations. Outcomes will help guiding researchers in the design of plants as production host and provide the building blocks for pathway engineering. The dialog established within the research community will involve key players in industry, stakeholders, and policy makers guaranteeing the highest momentum for the European research sector as well as the public. 

 With this in mind, our aim as organizers is to provide a forum where researchers with diverse expertise on PNP chemistry, plant metabolic engineering, plant enzymology, systems biology and computational biology, and chemistry can share their latest results, discuss their findings and generally define and develop rational design strategies to produce known and novel PNP of pharmaceutical and industrial interest in a sustainable, economical, and ecological way

 The city of Murcia combines traditional Spanish hospitality with modern infrastructure, including transport links and facilities for conferences making the city a logical choice for the Meeting.

 We sincerely hope that the 1st Annual Meeting FA1006-COST Action: PlantEngine I: Current state and vision for the future will be a successful event. We extend a warm invitation for you to visit our city to enjoy not only the excellent science but also a traditionally hospitable Spanish welcome.

                 Looking forward to seeing you in Spain
