An event entitled 'Protein Engineering: New Approaches and Applications' will be held from 10 to 12 April 2013 in Chester, UK.

Protein engineering has proved pivotal to our molecular understanding and adaption of proteins by allowing us to interact and manipulate the very coding sequence that underlies folding, structure and function.

Protein engineering is currently undergoing a renaissance with the advent of new technological approaches to address some of major emerging areas in life sciences, including facilitating the interface with both chemistry and physics. Protein engineering will prove central to areas ranging from synthetic biology to bioprocessing and nanotechnology.

In recent years the traditional idea of simple site-directed mutagenesis has been superseded through the developed of new approaches and technologies that have enabled the field of protein engineering to flourish.

The conference will be an opportunity for researchers and diverse groups of world-leading protein engineers to exchange on the recent advances in our current understanding of how proteins can be tractably manipulated towards an intended function, either through rational design or directed evolution.For further information, please visit:
