INTERfaces Tailored Materials and Enzymes for Industrial Processes – Basic Module

The INTERfaces iMooX-course “Tailored Materials and Enzymes for Industrial Processes – Basic Module” is an introductory fundamental course focusing on enzymes, their production and modification via protein engineering, biocatalytic synthesis in organic chemistry, and optimization of the enzymatic applications with process engineering. In total six Units were designed within the three main topics (Enzyme Production & Engineering, Biocatalysis, and Process Engineering) that will cover themes from “gene-to-process”. The Units will be completed with some interviews between INTERfaces ESRs and industrial biotechnology leaders, and experimental videos. After each lecture, a questionnaire must be completed and passed to successfully end the corresponding Unit. 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.
