What is the Biochemical Pathway Optimization course about?
Engineers and researchers frequently design powerful pathways only to see performance degrade in vivo. Hidden bottlenecks, like mitochondrial transport limits or NADPH availability, undermine even the most elegant designs. Without a systematic framework to identify and resolve these issues, projects stall, timelines stretch, and yields plateau far below potential. The gap isn’t knowledge, it’s integration.
