Optimization of biocatalysts and bioprocesses

This research group is a one of recent creation (2009). After working since 1988 in several areas of biocatalysis, under the supervision of Dr Guisan, and a postdoctoral stand in UCL under supervision of Dr Cowan (1993-1996) the leader research has a wide experience in the study of the interactions between biomacromolecules and activated solids, both to purify or immobilize/stabilize these biomacromolecules. Moreover, he has expertise in the chemical and physical modification of these biomacromolecules, both to improve their properties or to improve their immobilization performance. He has also experience on the integration of other technological tools to have a better biocatalyst, like microbiology (using enzymes from thermophiles) molecular biology (purification by affinity, directed immobilization/rigidification) Included in Highly Cited Researchers (HCR) 2019, 2020 and 2021 With these biocatalysts, many different reactions have been studied, e.g. selecti
