The Metabolic Pathway Analysis 2019 will take place from the 12th to the 16th of August in the newly built Academic Centre for Life sciences in Riga, Latvia. The meeting has a primary focus on the structural analysis of metabolic networks, pathways of primary and secondary metabolism, synthetic biology, mathematical algorithms and software with an emphasis on applications in systems medicine.
On the first day of MPA we will be offering tutorials where you will be able to learn about the newest software in use and get advice from skilled professionals.

The conference consists of 6 sessions on
1. Systems medicine
2. Fundamentals of metabolic network structure
3. Reconstituted systems and synthetic biology
4. Pathways of primary and secondary metabolism
5. Applied metabolic systems analysis and engineering
6. Methodology and mathematical algorithms and software
