BIOCATALYSIS IN FLOW - Results of the EC ‘BIOINTENSE’ project
26th January 2016 (Conference Center Het Pand, Ghent, Belgium)
Background
Biocatalysis using enzymes to catalyze synthetic chemistry of industrial interest has grown hugely in recent years, although the most significant developments remain in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical sectors. The scientific and technical developments extend now to the introduction of new process concepts for improved implementation and better production. At the start of 2016 the EC-funded project ‘BIOINTENSE: mastering the integration of biocatalysis across scales’ will come to an end. The project has been highly successful and we plan a workshop to discuss the findings of the project.
The one-day workshop will be focused on the following themes
•Use of microfluidics for process design and intensification of biocatalysis
•Use of microfluidics for screening of biocatalysts
•Use of microfluidic for kinetic data collection and modelling of biocatalytic reactions
The program will consist of the invited lectures from industry and academia, short presentations with highlights of findings from the BIOINTENSE project, poster session, demonstration of microfluidic systems for biocatalysis and discussion groups.
