Here you find the latest news about this project ‘H2020robox’.
On the 9th of April ROBOX partner ACIB presented science to young kids from the Nanoversity kindergarden who visited them to experience biotechnology. This assures us this subject is one for the future.
Our partners ACIB and TUG on Friday April 13, 2018 took part in the free to enter eighth Long Night of Research. The world of science and research was presented using current projects, new findings and technologies to present research science in an exciting, understandable and entertaining way. ACIB Long Night of Research One highlight…
ROBOX to have a presence at Applied Biobased Materials Conference (ABC) 2018 hosted by the Aachen-Maastricht Institute for Biobased Materials (AMIBM). This will describe some of our latest developments in using biocatalysis to synthesize materials suitable for innovations.

ROBOX had its latest project meeting in Groningen where the consortium met to review the latest results and update future plans
1 8 TH- 2 0 TH OF A P R I L 2 0 1 8 PROCESS DEVELOPMENT FOR BIOOXIDATIONS WORKSHOP Biooxidations Workshop The objective of this workshop is to elaborate on biocatalytic process development. In many cases it is useful to assess biocatalytic reactions at a very early stage of development, before a process…
Dr Sean Brady’s team at New York’s Rockefeller University has been busy unearthing antibiotics using a gene sequencing technique to analyse more than 1,000 soil samples taken from across the US and and they discovered malacidins. Their discovery represents the first discovery of a new class of antibiotic since the discovery of teixobactin in 2015…
Our latest publication from RUG/UP has applied cumulative alanine mutagenesis approach to cyclohexanone monooxygenase from Thermocrispum municipale, a flavin-dependent Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase to demonstrate “Side-Chain Pruning Has Limited Impact on Substrate Preference in a Promiscuous Enzyme”
Our partner RUG have published a paper on how ROBOX catalysts can be used to add value to glycerol – a byproduct of biodiesel production that is treated as waste.
“Structure-based engineering of Phanerochaete chrysosporium alcohol oxidase for enhanced oxidative power towards glycerol”

The 7th EuCheMS Chemistry conference, 26-30 August 2018 is in Liverpool, UK. The conference has excellent keynote speakers, and there is still time for submitting abstracts for oral and poster presentations (deadline February 19). See https://www.euchems2018.org/ Although the conference covers all aspects of catalysis there is a strong biocatalysis lineup. Biological catalysis Convenor: Dick Janssen…
The ‘5th Winter Process Chemistry Conference’ will be held in Manchester at the MCC, December 11th – 13th 2018. Our partner UNIMAN will present on biocatalysis for use in industry.
There is a student rate to attend and also an opportunity for them to present a poster.
The 1st BIOCASCADES Symposium “Reaction Concepts for Industrial Biocatalysis” will take place on April 9th – 11th 2018 in Bielefeld, Germany. The conference will bring together 100 participants from academia and industry offering network opportunities and fostering discussions on current advances in industrial biocatalysis. The lectures will be divided into three scientific sessions: Process Catalysis…
