The Scientific symposium „Gene Editing – from Research to Industry“ will be held in Vilnius on October 25, 2022 and will be covering the success stories of research outcomes in the field of gene editing with the focus on introduction to the industry applications. The conference agenda will cover CRISPR molecular tools applications for various products and will showcase the successful collaborations between public and private researchers.
The forthcoming conference program will attract a wide range of genetic engineering professionals from academia and industry. The event will create excellent opportunities for collaboration between different sectors and will be a great addition for the European Industrial Biotechnology and Bioeconomy Forum (EFIB22).
EFIB22, which will take place on October 26-27 in Vilnius, is Europe’s primary conference dedicated to the innovation and commercial delivery of industrial biotechnology and the bioeconomy. EFIB will include a LBTA organized Scientific symposium, followed by two days dedicated to how industrial biotechnology is contributing to transforming sectors, consumer choices and economic ecosystems, enabling a more competitive and sustainable Europe.
