This one week program includes two highly-interactive workshops that address core aspects of industrial biotechnology. The two workshops will take place August 13-17, 2018.
Benefits:
- Practical, hands-on training provided onsite at UC San Diego
- Immediate application of tools and techniques at your organization
- Taught by UC San Diego faculty and expert practitioners in the field
The first workshop, Metabolic Engineering for Industrial Biotechnology, will focus on metabolic engineering as applied to high volume/low cost chemical and materials and explore how systems approaches are used in this area.
Speakers:
- Ben Griffin, Ph.D., Senior Director, Microbial and Enzyme Engineering, Synthetic Genomics
- Nicky Caiazza Ph.D, Director, Metabolic Engineering and Synthetic Biology, Synthetic Genomics
- Jeff Lievense, Ph.D., Senior Engineering Fellow, Genomatica
- Bernhard Palsson, Ph.D., Principal Investigator, UC San Diego
- Adam Feist, Ph.D., Project Scientist, UC San Diego

Lievense, Jeff
Jeff Lievense, Ph.D., is currently the senior advisor to the CEO at Genomatica where he acts as a domain expert, internal consultant, and key contributor on new initiatives. Prior to joining Genomatica in 2012, Lievense was the executive vice president of process development at Amyris. He has more than 35 years of pioneering and productive leadership in industrial biotechnology. He has been the key contributor to commercial development of a dozen fermentation and chemical products, including milestone achievements in the field.
Griffin, Benjamin
Ben Griffin is a microbial physiologist with 15 years of experience who currently heads SGI’s Heterotrophic Cell Systems division, responsible for non-photosynthetic microbial technology development. His team advances a portfolio of programs from ideation to pilot-ready technology that has included nutritional products, bio-based chemicals, natural products, biologics, agricultural microbes and engineering tools development. His groups cover key functions of early stage R&D including bio-prospecting, protein engineering, biocatalysis, adaptive laboratory evolution, metabolic engineering, and small-scale fermentation. In previous roles during his eight years at Synthetic Genomics, Ben was Senior Director of Bio-based Chemicals and Director of Hydrocarbons Research where he focused on leading partner-funded joint development programs. He received a PhD from Michigan State University in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics at the Center for Microbial Ecology and was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Konstanz in Germany and at the Institute for Genomic Biology at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champagne.
