Applied biocatalysis

The working group Applied Biocatalysis organizes symposia and workshops to promote this area of biotechnology. These meetings (free for NBV members) are attended by a combination of a.o. academic and industrial experts in the field and people having a general interest in biochemistry/biotechnology. The open character of these meeting stimulates exchange of knowledge and information. Each symposium or workshop is organized around a central theme. Examples of recent symposia are: ‘Industrial enzyme development and production’ (2009), ‘Enzymes and biofuels: do they fit?’ (2010). The last symposium was held in Wageningen, October 2013. During this meeting, (inter)national speakers provided an overview on the developments in the area of ‘redox biocatalysis’.
