📢 W-BioCat results were presented at the European Congress on Biotechnology (#ECB2024) in the Netherlands, 30 June - 4 July 2024.


If you did not have the chance to attend the event, now you can take a look at the posters that Delft University of Technology researchers presented! 📊 🔬


Deborah Boes - Recombinant expression of tungsten containing enzymes in Escherica coli


Rob Schmitz - In Hot Pursuit: Tungsten-Containing Enzymes from Pyrococcus furiosus for Sustainable Chemical Synthesis


Alice Pedroni- Catalytic Hydrogenation of Carboxylic Acids using W-Containing Aldehyde Oxidoreductase







I am Richard McLean and my primary interest lies at the blurry line between metabolism and abiotic organic chemistry and using enzyme engineering to expand that overlap as much as possible. I completed my doctoral work on the Hydroxypropionyl-CoA/Acrylyl-CoA (HOPAC) Cycle in the Erb Lab at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in 2022 and joined the Fleishman Lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science as a postdoctoral fellow in 2023. Within the W-BioCat consortium, my project will center on improving the expressibility of the 𝘗𝘺𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘧𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘴𝘶𝘴 Wco biosynthetic pathway in 𝘌.𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘪, and further work with the Wco-containing aldehyde oxidoreductases.
