"Enzymes availability and possibility to improve them using Evolution makes a nonsense avoiding to evaluate biocatalysis in new synthesis design."

 

Vita:

Riccardo Motterle is Head Biotecnology Development at F.I.S. Fabbrica Italiana Sintetici (Vicenza). He received is Laurea in Chemistry in 1995 at the University of Padova and joined F.I.S. in 1996. During the first ten years his research activity, as shown by some publications and patents, dealt with scouting, developing and scaling-up syntheses of API using ‘standard’ organic chemistry. From 2006 on he had the opportunity to investigate the potential of biocatalysis in API production starting a new field in FIS. His current studies focus on the re-design of API and intermediated synthesis to allow an extensive use of the biocatalysis. He is also involved in all the issues related to the use and stabilization of enzymes in industrial implementation. These works, developed in collaboration with University of Padova where dr. Motterle is responsible for a PhD and a PostDoc on Industrial Biotechnology, are object of some publications and patents and were presented at several scientific conferences.
