Industrial Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology

In 2018 LNBR started a series of workshops entitled Industrial Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology. The purpose of this series, from the beginning, was to bring together researchers from all parts of the world to discuss solutions to global problems, such as the development of technologies to boost green chemistry, strategies for renewable energy production and renewable biofuels. LNBR believes that biotechnology is one of the most promising ways to address these global issues. We invite you to solve the problems of tomorrow with us. Are you in?

Enzyme Discovery and Design
1st semester of 2021

The magnificent diversity of life on earth arose from a plethora of chemical reactions finely orchestrated by enzymes. The understanding of nature´s repertoire for accelerating or controlling chemical reactions, including the origins and principles of biocatalysis, is still at its infancy, but growing exponentially with the blow of omics data.

Sustainable Chemicals and Fuels Through Synthetic Biology
May 28^th– 30^th, 2019

The continued use of fossil fuels is no longer tenable. A finite resource, their extraction, processing and exploitation results in environmental pollution and increased greenhouse gas emissions. The challenge facing global societies is to identify sustainable and cleaner processes for chemical, fuel and food production, while at the same time reducing GHG emissions, in particular CO2.
