Biotechnology: Study Award for a New Building Block in the Drug Toolbox
Simon Schröder has worked out how enzymes can be used to more easily form the desired bond between two nitrogen atoms. The building blocks for new drugs that help fight bacteria that are resistant to known antibiotics, for example, should be as cost-effective and environmentally friendly as possible.

EUR 2.7M for academia and industry to pave the way to sustainable organic synthesis
With EUR 2.7 million from EU’s Horizon Europe’s programme, University of Groningen has teamed up with 19 other European universities and industries in a project to decode novel reaction chemistries from enzymes that are currently not accessible with the existing biocatalyst portfolio for building important molecules such as precursors for pharmaceuticals.
