Event Overview:

“The chemical industry is at a crossroads, with sustainability and environmental responsibility at the forefront of global concerns. The use of catalysts can lead to faster, more efficient chemical reactions with the aim of producing more of the desired product whilst reducing the amount of unwanted by-product. Currently, chemocatalysis, that takes place in organic solvents, forms the basis of the majority of applications.

However, biocatalysis, harnessing the power of isolated enzymes, takes place in water and offers a sustainable alternative to traditional chemical processes, promising reduced waste, energy efficiency, and improved product quality. Yet, there is great reluctance to adopt biocatalysis or chemoenzymatic catalysis within industry, particularly within the pharmaceutical sector.

In this hour-long interactive webinar, you’ll meet three scientists who came together from across academia and industry to survey senior leaders at chemical companies about their use of biocatalysis to find out how and where it is being used.”
