Kick-off Training Event – Enzyme catalysis School in Graz!

September 25-29th, 2023 Last week, our DCs gathered for the first time in #Graz, kicking off their First Training Event. During the Enzyme Catalysis School, they immersed themselves in the fundamentals of #chemistry and #biocatalysis, particularly focusing on the N-N and C-C bond-forming reactions. In the lab, they rolled up their sleeves and gained hands-on […]

Today in the Meet the DCs series … Simon Schroeder!

September 19, 2023 Today in the meet the DCs series … Simon Schröder! Hi everyone, Simon here! I am a doctoral candidate in the BiodeCCodiNNg Doctoral Network.Now that most of us have started working on our respective projects, we want to introduce ourselves to you. Every week, one of us DCs will give you a brief overview […]

BiodeCCodiNNg kicks off!

January 12-13, 2023 Our BiodeCCodiNNg project has started with its kick-off meeting organized in Groningen from the 12th to 13th of January 2023. During the two-days meeting, we had board meetings, exciting discussions between industry and academia on work packages 1, 2 and 3 as well as great ‘Getting to know the consortium’ presentations by […]

New doctoral network in biology

Enzymes are indispensable in industry, for example in the production of pharmaceuticals. The new network provides a platform for doctoral students to search for new, sustainable biocatalysts. Read full article here: https://news.rub.de/english/2022-05-06-funding-new-doctoral-network-biology

Doctoral network BiodeCCodiNNG granted

The team of Dörte Rother is part of a consortium that has now been granted a prestigious doctoral network. Together with nine academic partners from renowned European universities and supported by 10 companies, she is looking forward to working on the development of novel enzyme catalysed reactions over the next 3 years.
