Expanding the Boundaries of Protein Engineering

This inaugural conference focuses on protein engineering and its applications in chemical, agricultural, and medical industries as well as fundamental research. Sessions in the conference will cover in breadth and depth a wide variety of topics, such as emerging tools for directed evolution, rational design, de novo or computational protein design, and machine learning enabled protein engineering, and their applications in biocatalysis, synthetic biology, genome engineering, metabolic engineering, metabolic disease treatment, cancer therapy, and CAR-T therapy. The program will address not only the technical challenges in protein engineering, but also seek to better understand the protein structure-function-dynamics relationship. The conference will bring together world-leading young and established protein engineers from academia and industry with a goal of generating cross-disciplinary ideas and foster potential research collaborations.
