The call for papers, panels and posters is now open, and the application form is available online at http://bio.org/pacrim/presenters/submit_abstract.asp. The deadline for submitting panel and paper abstracts is June 11, 2010. The deadline for submitting poster abstracts is Sept. 8, 2010. Thought leaders from the biotechnology industry, academia, and science community are invited to submit proposals for the following program tracks:
- Renewable Chemicals & Biobased Polymers
- Biofuels & Bioenergy Platforms
- Algae Production Systems & Marine Biotechnology
- Specialty Crops, Renewable Feedstocks, & Sustainability
- Synthetic Biology and Metabolic Engineering
Now in its fifth year, the Pacific Rim Summit on Industrial Biotechnology and Bioenergy will address the latest issues in industrial biotechnology, including algae, advanced biofuels, biopolymers and bioplastics, dedicated energy crops, green chemistry, and synthetic biology. The annual Pacific Rim Summit is the original conference dedicated solely to growth of the industrial biotechnology sector in Asia and the Americas.
