HIMS-BIOCAT

HIMS-Biocat is a high multidisciplinary team of enthusiastic researchers working at the interface between biological and chemical sciences. Our major aims are to develop new biocatalysts and biocatalytic systems for the sustainable and efficient synthesis of organic molecules that are relevant for the chemical industry as well as to address fundamental questions of biological chemistry. We believe that the advancement in the field of biocatalysis can meet the changing needs of industry and has a decisive impact on the future of the next generations on our planet. Part of our mission is also to train students such that they possess the necessary combination of skills in chemistry, biology and engineering needed to work in biocatalysis. HIMS-Biocat, led by Prof. Francesco Mutti, is part of the Van't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (HIMS), University of Amsterdam (UvA). HIMS-Biocat is located at the Amsterdam Science Park.
