Dr Alper presented the award lecture entitled &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iceht.forth.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/SVS2017_abstract.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Engineering an expanded chemical palette in cells<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Hal Alper received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Maryland College Park in 2002 and his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from MI2 in 2006. He has served as the Principal Investigator of the Laboratory for Cellular and Metabolic Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin since 2008. He has authored more than 75 peer-reviewed publications, 8 book chapters, 8 non-peer reviewed publications, with over 5,600 citations with an h-index of 34, and 13 patents and patent applications (of which 5 are licensed to companies). His research focuses on metabolic and cellular engineering in the context of biofuel, biochemical, and biopharmaceutical production in an array of model host organisms. He helped establish an approach termed &#8220;promoter engineering&#8221;, towards the rational design of synthetic promoters especially with respect to fungal transcriptional control. He is Reviews Editor for the journal Metabolic Engineering, Editorial Board Member for the journal Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology, and Associate Editor for several Journals. He has received numerous important awards and distinctions, among which most recently the University of Texas at Austin Emerging Inventor of the Year Award (2016), the American Chemical Society BIOT Division Young Investigator Award (2016), the Society for Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology Young Investigator Award (2015), the Jay Bailey Young Investigator Award in Metabolic Engineering (2014), the Chevron Centennial Teaching Fellowship in Chemical Engineering (2011-2013), the DuPont Young Professor Award (2010) and the Camille and Henry Dreyfus New Faculty Award (2008).<\/p>\n<p>FORTH\/ICE-HT created the &#8220;Stratis V.
