Contemporary chemical synthesis often relies on complex, multi-step processes that can be costly, energy-intensive, and not always environmentally sustainable. In response to these limitations, our team explores modern approaches based on biocatalysis as a versatile and greener alternative to traditional chemical technologies.
We focus on the broad potential of enzymatic systems in various fields of chemical synthesis, biotechnology and environmental protection. Biocatalysis enables highly selective transformations under mild conditions, which makes it an attractive tool for applications ranging from fine chemicals production, through industrial biotechnology, to environmental processes.
Our goal is to develop innovative enzymatic systems capable of performing efficient one-pot transformations using natural as as bioengineered and synthetic enzymes. This includes the design, modification, and immobilization of enzymes in order to obtain stable, efficient, and reusable biocatalytic platforms.
We expect that the developed solutions will contribute to simplifying synthetic pathways, reducing the consumption of raw materials and energy, and increasing the overall sustainability of chemical processes. The research is carried out at Poznan University of Technology, which provides excellent research infrastructure and an interdisciplinary scientific environment that supports the development of innovative biotechnological solutions.
