ECI Conference on Microbial Engineering Webinar
Webinar Presentations Available Here
January 26, 2021
10:00 – 12:30 (New York) – 15:00 – 17:30 (London)


Our community has made extraordinary progress toward developing a number of promising vaccine candidates to provide protection against COVID-19 disease. Because of the pandemic, we have postponed the face-to-face Microbial Engineering II conference to September 19-23, 2021 in Albufeira, Portugal. To keep the community up to date, this webinar will focus on a variety of programs based either on microbial platforms or cell free synthesis. Each speaker will entertain participant questions.
