INTERNATIONAL TRAINING COURSE ON INDUSTRIAL SYNTHETIC BIOTECHNOLOGY

In early August 2019, I received by mail information about a 21-day internship at Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. The internship period is from October 14 to November 2. Carried out the collection of documents according to their requirements. After 2 weeks, I received a notification letter that I won this competition among 150 nominees (participants). Under the terms of the internship, the host institute paid all expenses.

This training course examined theories, practices, and applications of industrial synthetic biotechnology.

The course consisted of 2 sections:

1. Technical section: basic theory, methodology, technological progress and the use of synthetic biotechnology (chemicals, fuels and lubricants, food and feed additives).

2. Experimental: a series of experiments in synthetic biology to strengthen technical skills.

In addition, he participated in MES-2019: a metabolic engineering summit with 500 participants from 20 countries (MES 2019, October 20-22, Tianjin).

In addition, I attended lectures by world famous scientists. Keynote speakers: Sang Yup Li, professor at the Korea Leading Science and Technology Institute (KAIST), and a number of other international scholars, such as Professor Jibin Sun, Professor Янхэ Ма, Professor Yong Tao, Professor Shuangyan Tang and other TIB professors. Another research organization of China.

At the end of the practice, a memorandum of cooperation between the treasury and MEB on student exchange and visiting professors was signed.
