| Background: |
 Genome Alberta has been invited by the
Alberta Life Sciences Institute to submit a Business Case that outlines
how Alberta can take advantage of the opportunities that genomics can
provide to enhance a BioBased Economy. This would include areas such as
feedstock optimization, processing technologies as it relates to biomass
conversion, creation of higher value bioproducts from high-volume,
low-value biomass and plant based production of high value-added
bioproducts such as designer proteins, pharmaceuticals, oils, starches,
fiber and metabolites. We are currently inviting key individuals in the scientific and stakeholder communities to assist Genome Alberta in this process. |
