Metabolic Engineering: Advances, Applications, and Future Prospects in Biotechnology
This lecture highlights key aspects of nucleotide metabolism, metabolic engineering, and their applications in drug design, diagnostics, and industrial production. It discusses notable research like the engineering of *Escherichia coli* for optimized aromatic metabolite production and insights from the Human Metabolome Project. Emphasis is placed on future possibilities such as creating life from scratch and the role of metabolomics in disease differentiation and response to therapies. Participants can engage through a live Q&A session to explore questions on these topics.

-Omics = Metabolomics! ENTIRE collection of metabolites! “Metabolome”

Synthetic biology – “creating” life… “Build” a genome from scratch? What is “minimal” genome?
…and beyond! Protein + metabolic engineering Any compound, any time! “Download” vaccine to personal biofactory?!
