This award was instituted in honor of Jay Bailey, a visionary of future directions in biotechnological research and a brilliant contributor to the founding and advancement of the field of metabolic engineering (see Metabolic Engineering 3, 393, 2001; Biotechnology and Bioengineering 79 (5), 2002).
The purpose of the award is to recognize outstanding research accomplishments in the field of metabolic engineering by a young investigator. The recipient will have advanced the frontiers of metabolic engineering through originality and creativity of experimental or computational concept application.
Award Sponsor: Metabolic Engineering
Metabolic Engineering (MBE), published by Elsevier, sponsors the Jay Bailey Young Investigator Award in the amount of 2,000 USD, to encourage and support outstanding and upcoming metabolic engineering researchers. MBE is a pivotal forum for communicating interdisciplinary research and relevant results in the metabolic engineering community. Our international editorial team, headed up by Profs. Sang Yup Lee and Jay Keasling, welcome your cutting-edge research. Submit your manuscript now.
Metabolic Engineering Communications (MEC), a companion title to Metabolic Engineering (MBE), is devoted to publishing original research in the areas of metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, computational biology and systems biology. The editorial team, led by Profs. Nancy DaSilva and Mattheos Koffas, look forward to your contributions. Submit your manuscript to MEC here.
The award will be presented at the Metabolic Engineering 16 conference in 2025.
