We will discuss methodologies for enzyme-based process development, including the optimization of biocatalytic reactions from enzyme discovery to condition tuning. Key research areas covered will include enzyme production and testing, utilizing techniques such as molecular biology and extensive analytics to characterize enzyme function. Furthermore, we will highlight innovative approaches to enzyme engineering, with selected examples covering industry-specific considerations for biocatalytic processes development. Case studies will illustrate how these research efforts contribute to the development of sustainable chemistry solutions and enzymatic technologies for product delivery. This presentation will emphasize the research underpinning the development of effective enzymatic solutions to complex industrial challenges.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-overlay tatsu-column-overlay tatsu-animate-none\" ><\/div><\/div><style>.tatsu-row > .tatsu-hztmykjii6g4x69f.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}.tatsu-hztmykjii6g4x69f.tatsu-column > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-column-overlay{mix-blend-mode: normal;}.tatsu-hztmykjii6g4x69f > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-hztmykjii6g4x69f > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-hztmykjii6g4x69f > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-left-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-hztmykjii6g4x69f > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-right-divider{z-index: 9999;}<\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-section-background-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-section-background\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-overlay tatsu-section-overlay\"><\/div><style>.tatsu-hztmykjif5armn4t .tatsu-section-pad{padding: 52px 0px 90px 0px;}.tatsu-hztmykjif5armn4t > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-hztmykjif5armn4t > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-hztmykjif5armn4t .tatsu-section-overlay{mix-blend-mode: normal;}<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/energia.imdea.org\/en\/events\/distinguished-seminar-gecco-biotech-pioneering-enzyme-solutions-that-reshape-industrial-biotechnology\/\" class=\"more-link style1-button\">Read More<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[]},"tags":[],"mec_category":[58,59],"class_list":["post-10181","mec-events","type-mec-events","status-publish","hentry","mec_category-event","mec_category-events-home"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
