Sustainability Processes - Biocatalysis and Biotransformation

Session Overview

This special session will focus on innovative biocatalytic and biotransformation approaches for the sustainable production, modification, and application of natural products and bioactive compounds.


The session will highlight how enzymes, microorganisms, and biocatalytic processes can support greener synthesis, efficient resource utilization, and the development of high-value compounds for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and other applications.

Session ChairDr. Vladimír Křen, PhD Institute of Microbiology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Czech Republic
