BIOTRANS 2005
The key to Industrial Biotechnology
7th International Symposium on Biocatalysis and Biotransformations
3- 8 July 2005, Delft, the Netherlands
Department of Biotechnology of the Delft University of Technology
Section on Applied Biocatalysis of the Netherlands Biotechnological Society
Section on Applied Biocatalysis of the European Federation of Biotechnology

This Conference will gather European scientists involved in biocatalysis within the biosciences, chemistry, engineering, and industrial production to create a stimulating, highly interdisciplinary forum for intense scientific education and exchange. The event will promote science and technological excellence through the inclusion of virtually all current topics in biocatalysis.

The major topics of the Conference to be addressed are:

• Biotransformations in organic synthesis
• Industrial scale processes & development
• Biochemical engineering & downstream processing
• Enzyme discovery and development
• Mechanistic biochemistry, protein structure & modelling
• Pathway engineering, genomics & proteomics
