Title: Addressing Challenges in Synthesis via Biocatalysis
Abstract: This lecture will show how engineered biocatalysts can be applied to solve challenging problems in organic synthesis. By a combination of enzyme discovery, biocatalyst engineering and target molecule synthesis, new synthetic strategies have been developed which allow for the sustainable synthesis of pharmaceuticals and associated chiral building blocks, thereby providing greater access globally to important medicines.
