Honored to deliver the @ChemistryEurope Lecture next week at #ICGSC2025 & #EuChemS GSC in Budapest 🇭🇺! I'll speak on "Sustainable Synthesis of Chiral Amines & Amino Alcohols via Biocatalytic Cascade".
Excited to share our work in #Biocatalysis #GreenChemistry @HimsUva

It was a pleasure to deliver a talk titled "Enzymes for Sustainable Synthesis and Biosensing Applications" at Solution in Chemistry 2024 @SiC_2022, and inspiring to witness more chemists recognizing that #biocatalysis offers tangible solutions for achieving a sustainable society.

In 2019, we reported the use of E. coli cells to synthesize enantiopure amines, but the process was limited by amine toxicity. In this new study, we evolved E. coli strains with higher amine tolerance to enable more efficient stereoselective bioamination.

Congrats to @Witzher1 & co-authors on another publication in @ChemBioChem, this time on bio-electrocatalytic asymmetric reduction of activated alkenes. This study used ene-reductases with an electrochemical system for flavin cofactor recycling. @UvA_Amsterdam @HimsUva
