DOE Publishes Summary Report: Cell-Free Synthetic Biology and Biocatalysis
In October 2018, DOE’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) published a report called “Cell-Free Synthetic Biology and Biocatalysis: Prototyping and Conversion Platforms.” The report consists of a summary from discussions held on a listening day by BETO in Denver, Colorado, in 2017. The public meeting was intended to discuss research and development opportunities related to cell-free synthetic biology and biocatalysis, and how these techniques could be leveraged in the production of biofuels and bioproducts. Attendees of the meeting included representatives from academia, DOE national laboratories, industry, and other federal agencies.
