10th OxiZymes meeting

Name: 10th OxiZymes meeting
Start: 2022-07-05T09:00:00+02:00
End: 2022-07-08T18:00:00+02:00
Location: University of Siena

5 July 2022 @ 9:00 am – 8 July 2022 @ 6:00 pm CEST

Welcome to the 10^th Edition of OxiZymes meeting!

Initially specifically devoted to research activities on laccases and peroxidases, this series of conferences now cover the whole class of oxidoreductases. Building on the success of previous OxiZymes meetings, OxiZymes 2022 will emphasize the discovery of new oxidoreductases and the latest advances in their biotechnological applications. The conference will provide a unique opportunity for industrial researchers to meet with foremost young academics for knowledge transfer and to establish research collaborations. The conference format is designed to be highly interactive, with ample time for stimulating discussions, interdisciplinary interactions, and meetings alongside the scientific sessions.

OxiZymes Siena will cover the following topics:

Newly discovered Oxizymes
Oxizymes mechanism and structure
Oxizymes engineering, computational and biomimetic approaches
Oxizymes in fine chemistry
Biotechnological applications of Oxizymes:
Oxizymes in food
Oxizymes in biorefinery
Oxizymes in biosensors
Oxizymes in biomaterials applications
Sophie Vanhulle Prize 2022

The best poster and presentation will be awarded by MDPI with 200 CHF each.

The Organizing Committee is looking forward to welcoming you in Siena!

Algal Omega 3

Algal Omega-3 is an innovative feed product for aquaculture. It reduces the impact on climate change by 30-40% compared to fish oil and saves 60 tons of wild fish for every ton of Algal Omega-3 used.

Cheese

Cheese is a vegetarian product thanks to biotechnology. Biotechnology is also essential to produce lactose- or cholesterol-free cheese, as well as alternative proteins.

Clothes

Clothes made from alternative fibres produced by microorganisms can be 8x stronger than steel, 100% recyclable, biodegradable and replace fossil-fuel based or resource-intensive textiles.

Vitamin B2

The biomanufacturing of Vitamin B2 led to the reduction of 75% of fossil raw materials and 50% operating costs, compared to the chemical process. Vitamin B2 is used in the food, feed or healthcare sectors.

Detergents

Enzymes and biosurfactancts are alternative ingredients that improve the performance of detergents, while leading to water and energy savings and reductions in CO2 emissions and water toxicity.

Insulin

Insulin is one of the most widely known biopharmaceutical. Biotechnology revolutionised its manufacturing process and led to the development of new types of insulin through r-DNA technology.
