DESCRIPTION:Thomas R. Ward\, Professor at UniBas and Director of NCCR Mole
 cular Systems Engineering\, and a pioneer of artificial metalloenzymes\, 
 developing systems for synthetic biology\, bio-nanotechnology and white bi
 otechnology. His academic career is focused on understanding and harnessin
 g catalysis\, as well as combining homogeneous and enzymatic catalysis in 
 bio-organic chemistry. Thomas Ward is currently working towards realizing 
 his DrEAM: the Directed Evolution of Artificial Metalloenzymes.\n \n\nRec
 ent publications:\n“Directed evolution of artificial metalloenzymes for 
 in vivo metathesis”\nM. Jeschek\, R. Reuter\, T. Heinisch\, C. Trindler\
 , J. Klehr\, S. Panke\, T. R. Ward\, Nature\, 2016\, 537\, 661.\n \n“Ar
 tificial Metalloenzymes Based on the Biotin–Streptavidin Technology: Cha
 llenges and Opportunities”\nT. Heinisch\, T. R. Ward\, Acc. Chem. Res.\
 , 2016\, 49\, 1711. \nThe conference is part of the NCCR lecture series h
 osted by NCCR junior scientists.\n\nThe conference is followed by a works
 hop on “Debugging and Evolving Artificial Metalloenzymes: Chemical and 
 Biological Challenges” given by Prof. Thomas Ward and Dr. Tillmann Hein
 isch\, senior researcher in the Ward group\, to provide insights into theo
 retical and practical aspects of artificial enzyme catalysis. Extended tim
 e for discussion will allow sharing on these issues.\nThe workshop will ta
 ke place on the same day as the talk\, 16:15-18:00 (including welcome co
 ffee)\, in room BCH 1103 at EPFL.\nPlease register here (deadline May 19)
 . Limited number of seats!\n \n
