Conference

Metabolic Pathway Analysis: The Frontiers

The fundamental study of biology has undergone a significant transformation from qualitative description to quantitative prediction of biological systems. MPA 2021 will focus on the frontiers of theoretical and computational approaches to decode biological principles behind metabolic networks, helping better understand rules of life and enabling biosystems design to tackle challenging problems related to health, food, energy, and the environment. The presentations will be organized into five themes including:

  • Fundamentals of Network Structure and Metabolism
  • Modular and Biosystems Design
  • Resource Allocation and Metabolism
  • Advances in Methods, Algorithms, and Tools Development
  • Applications in Systems/Synthetic Biology/Metabolic Engineering.

Unique to MPA 2021 will be also a series of tutorials organized on the first day of the conference that aims to cover the latest tool development from skilled professionals.
