Group leader Biotechnology Department, Firmenich/Switzerland

"Enzymes offer highly versatile chemistries under benign conditions enabling diverse applications. While an increasing range of engineering options helps addressing performance and cost issues among others, it is important that the regulatory environment and the public remain open to science and technology."

 

Vita:

  • Since 1999: Group and project leader at Firmenich’s Biotechnology Department. Main activities on the technical side have mainly related to scouting of biosynthetic and chemo-enzymatic routes, exploration and development of biocatalytic systems prior to scale up, and protein engineering; often in collaboration with external partners
  • 1995-1999: Postdoctoral research at the College of Engineering, and at the Department of Plant Pathology, UC Riverside
  • 1991-1994: Ph.D. work at the Institute of Biotechnology, ETH-Zürich
