The event aims to bring together young researchers, PhD candidates, postdocs and early-career PIs to showcase their research on biocatalysis and the investigation of the function of enzymes. The symposium will also include a satellite event focusing on advancing biocatalysis and biotechnology through the integration of non-canonical amino acids into proteins.

Topics

• Applied biocatalysis
• Elucidation of enzymatic mechanisms
• Protein, reaction and metabolic engineering (including computational tools)
• Light-promoted enzymatic processes
• Ultra-high-thoughput screening methods for enzyme discovery and optimization
• Design of novel multi-enzyme cascade reactions
