Dear Colleague:
We wish to present to
you Proceedings from the recent Inter-Agency Conference on Metabolic
Engineering, which was held at the National Science Foundation on
February 3, 2005.
This Conference provided an overview of the field of Metabolic
Engineering with presentations describing how Metabolic Engineering is
playing a significant role in the areas of plant science, microbial
science, animal and insect science, health science and computational
biology. Presentations were provided by Grantees of Awards
resulting from the activities of the Inter-Agency Metabolic Engineering
Working Group (MEWG). The electronic version of this report, which is
available at:
http://www.metabolicengineering.gov/me2005/ReportTOC.html
has abstract and slide information from each of the presentations.
For current
information on the activities of the MEWG, please refer to the MEWG web
site shown below:

We thank you for your
interest in Metabolic Engineering and invite your inquiries regarding
the Inter-Agency activities.
With best regards, I am
