INTERfaces Tailored Materials and Enzymes for Industrial Processes – Advanced Module

The INTERfaces iMooX-course “Tailored Materials and Enzymes for Industrial Processes – Advanced Module” focusses on state-of-the-art enzyme immobilization techniques, different methods used based on carrier materials and binding chemistries, assessment of immobilized enzymes’ performance, and the use of immobilized enzymes in different reactors. Furthermore, we will introduce industrial biocatalytic applications synthesizing chemicals and downstream processing methods towards their isolation. In total nine Units were designed within the three main Topics (Design and characterization of immobilized biocatalysts, Design of reaction cascades, Process Intensification and Scaling), that will cover themes from heterogenization of enzymes and use of them in different reactor setups, also in an industrial environment. The units will be completed with some interviews between young scientists and industrial biotechnology leaders and a science exploitation expert, and experimental videos.

The course is not only taught for students at BSc. and MSc. study levels but also to attract attention from industrial chemists interested in applying enzymes to synthesize chemicals for our daily use.
