CCBIO Competence Center for Biocatalysis

The Competence Center of Biocatalysis (CCBIO) was founded in January 2016 and is led by Dr. Rebecca Buller, head of the Centre for Biocatalysis and Process Technology at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) The CCBIO at the ZHAW promotes biocatalysis as a complementary method to classic organic synthesis and aims to help bridge the gap between academic laboratories and the production plant. By connecting relevant research competencies CCBIO strives to develop a comprehensive biocatalytic toolbox consisting of enzyme libraries and methods, which will facilitate the development of biocatalytic and biosynthetic processes for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Our main goals are: - Establish biocatalysis as an alternative to classical chemical synthesis - Develop a comprehensive biocatalytic toolbox consisting of enzyme libraries and methods - Facilitate the development of biocatalytic and biosynthetic processes for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. - Establish a national platform for scientific knowledge transfer and dialog for participants from industry and academia - Strengthen the topic of biocatalysis within the teaching portfolio of Swiss Universities The Competence Center for Biocatalysis (CCBIO) together with its members from the different academic institutions provides the necessary know how to solve specific biosynthetic problems together with industry.
