Title
Industrial Cell Factories -- Systems Biology and Metabolic Engineering of the production of primary and secondary metabolites by Cell Factory Engineering Tools and Applications
Abstract: Cell factories are the key players in industrial biotechnology. It is the concept of using living cells as factories. It stresses at harvesting the natural abilities of microorganisms so as to produce various economically useful products. It is the rational engineering of biological entities (fungi yeast and so on) using various genetic engineering tools such as genomic proteomics and so on. A microbial cell factory plays a major role in creating a viable bio-product using a renewable carbon source which is converted via an economic bioprocess to the desired product of the required quality.About the speaker: Dr. Subrir obtained his PhD from IIT Bombay in 2009. He was postdoc at systems and Synthetic Biology group at Chalmers University of Technology Sweden from 2008-2009 and at Center for Microbiology Biotechnology DTU Denmark from 2010 onwards.
