DESCRIPTION:Thomas R. Ward\, Professor at the University of Basel and Dir
 ector of NCCR Molecular Systems Engineering and Dr. Tillmann Heinisch\, se
 nior researcher in the Ward group. Thomas Ward is a pioneer of artificial
  metalloenzymes\, developing systems for synthetic biology\, bio-nanotechn
 ology and white biotechnology. His academic career is focused on understan
 ding and harnessing catalysis\, as well as combining homogeneous and enzym
 atic catalysis in bio-organic chemistry. Thomas Ward is currently working 
 towards realizing his DrEAM: the Directed Evolution of Artificial Metalloe
 nzymes.\n \nTillmann Heinisch is a senior researcher in the group of Pro
 f. Ward (UniBas)\, in collaboration with Prof. Panke (ETH Zurich). Dr. Hei
 nisch is currently working on strategies to expand the faction scope of na
 tural E. coli metabolic pathways by the unique chemistries of artificial m
 etalloenzymes.\n \nRecent publications:\n“Directed evolution of artific
 ial metalloenzymes for in vivo metathesis”\, M. Jeschek\, R. Reuter\, T
 . Heinisch\, C. Trindler\, J. Klehr\, S. Panke\, T. R. Ward\, Nature\, 201
 6\, 537\, 661.\n \n“Artificial Metalloenzymes Based on the Biotin–Str
 eptavidin Technology: Challenges and Opportunities”\, T. Heinisch\, T. 
 R. Ward\, Acc. Chem. Res.\, 2016\, 49\, 1711. \nThe workshop is associat
 ed with the NCCR lecture series hosted by NCCR junior scientists to provi
 de insights into theoretical and practical aspects of artificial enzyme ca
 talysis. Extended time for discussion will allow sharing on these issues.
 \n\nPlease register here (deadline May 19). Limited number of seats!\n\nTh
 e workshop follows the talk given by Thomas R. Ward on “Endowing Orga
 nometallic Chemistry with a Genetic Memory”\, EPFL: May 30 - BCH 3118 -
  11:15.
