Enzymicals offers recognized expertise in the application of enzymatic processes for the synthesis of chemical targets up to the industrial scale. Within the ITN CC-TOP, it complements the ESR training by an industry secondment with advice on scale-up methodology and smooth technology transfer. Specifically, it assesses scale-up parameters for novel enzymes to evaluate their industrial performance (ESR4, ESR14). In this context, it provides lessons learned from success stories and failures in industrial process development.

The role of Bio-Prodict is to teach the ESRs how to use protein family data to predict beneficial mutations and make better proteins. Bio-Prodict will give an extensive course that is about the 3DM platform. This platform contains many different functionalities and tools specifically made for protein engineers.
AstraZeneca is a global pharmaceutical company with a goal to push the boundaries of science to deliver life-changing medicines. AZ is offering secondments to introduce the ESRs to the specific needs and applications of biocatalysis in the pharmaceutical industry, including the potential to scale-up biocatalytic steps from lab bench to the unique large-scale-lab facility or even pilot plant.
