EEC XXIV in Toulouse, France!
The 24th edition of the Enzyme Engineering Conference (EEC) will take place in Toulouse, France – for the first time! – from 24 to 28 September 2017.
This international congress, organised by Prof. Pierre Monsan (TWB) and Prof. Magali Remaud-Siméon (LISBP-INSA), is the main discussion forum on new scientific developments regarding enzyme technology and biocatalysis.
It highlights emerging methodologies and focuses on both fundamental and practical aspects of this field.
This conference series typically draws international participation (200-250 people) both from industry and academia.
The specific topics will include:
- Computational design and artificial catalysts
- Enzymes and Synthetic Biology
- Sequence and function-based discovery
- Structure-Activity-Dynamics-Evolution
- Biocatalysis I Enzyme engineering I Process development
- Enzymes and Sustainable Development.
