Industrial Biotransformations

Designer Enzymes for a New Era

The world's top-selling drug is being manufactured using a C-C bond forming reaction effected by a specially-tailored enzyme. Could your molecules benefit from the renaissance in biotransformations? Uncover the new approaches and advanced technologies which are making biocatalysis more than a "lucky dip" for organic chemists. (It's a lot more than just lipases and esterases!). This aims to be the main forum for organic chemists and biotechnologists working in process research and development and scale-up to hear about the latest advances in the field of biotransformations and network with an international audience. Speakers from all areas of the chemical and biotechnology industry (pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, fine chemicals, flavour and fragrances and colour chemistry) to present case studies and examples of the problems and successes in process R & D.
