Workshop plant biofactories in the genome engineering era el 7 de Marzo

El 7 de marzo se celebrará en el IBMCP el workshop Plant Biofactories in the Genome Engineering Era. Este workshop reúne a un grupo multidisciplinar de investigadores que participan en dos proyectos europeos en el ámbito de las plantas biofactoría: Newcotiana y Pharma-Factory. La reunión está planificada como un evento abierto. Podéis consultar el programa en la página web https://newcotiana.org/news/  Para facilitarnos la organización, si tenéis pensado asistir a alguna de las sesiones registraros por favor en el siguiente link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe74jF5qyXK-ZP2xJimy5Q04T2aLRSj….

PLANT BIOFACTORIES IN THE GENOME ENGINEERING ERA

Plants have been traditionally used as sustainable sources of valuable bioproducts, from aromas to medicines. New breeding techniques as CRISPR/Cas editing, in the context of a deeper understanding of plant genomes, open new opportunities for plant biofactories. Which new products can we expect to be produced in plants in the future? How is this opportunity being affected by EU legislation on plant biotechnology?. This workshop will bring together a multidisciplinary group of international scientists working in two related EU projects, Newcotiana and Pharma Factory, to discuss their advances and perspectives in the field.

Where: Salón de actos cubo azul CPI-UPV, Valencia

When: March 7th, 2019. 09.00-13.30h
