Join our project as a PhD Student to develop a novel platform for H₂-driven asymmetric catalysis in fine chemical synthesis. The research focuses on using hydrogenases to enable efficient biotransformations for asymmetric synthesis of compounds with high enantioselectivity. You will investigate electron transfer mechanisms, optimize enzymatic processes using advanced analytics like NMR and FTIR, and contribute to the developemnt of an automated reaction platform in a dynamic research environment.
The Institute for Technical Biocatalysis at the TU Hamburg develops sustainable biotechnological processes for a climate-friendly future. Our interdisciplinary, international team works with enthusiasm and scientific curiosity in an open, collegial atmosphere. Doctoral studies are research-oriented at the interface of biotechnology, chemistry and process engineering - innovative, application-oriented and in dialogue with research and industry.
