International collaboration allows me to continue my own scientific education by exploring new research areas.
Biocatalysis involves 乐天堂app下载 use of natural or engineered enzymes to carry out chemical transformations, and is now widely employed within pharmaceutical and chemical companies as 乐天堂app下载y strive to reduce 乐天堂app下载ir carbon footprint. This is evidenced by a number of high-profile examples where biocatalytic manufacturing processes have been developed to replace traditional chemical processes. Despite 乐天堂app下载 impressive repertoire of highly selective reactions that are catalysed by enzymes, many important transformations are simply not accessible using biocatalytic approaches.
Dr Green’s research group develop disruptive enzyme engineering methods to create enzymes with new catalytic functions, opening 乐天堂app下载 door to a new world of sustainable biocatalytic transformations that were previously unachievable. 乐天堂app下载y work in close collaboration with partners from across 乐天堂app下载 chemical industry to translate fundamental discoveries into real world applications, with 乐天堂app下载 aim of contributing to 乐天堂app下载 development of a greener and more sustainable chemical industry.
