Nice collaboration with Kroutil’s group on Biocatalytic Transamination of Aldolase-Derived 3-Hydroxy Ketones, which allow access to both diastereomers of the 1,3-amino alcohol motifs. See the publication in ASC onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Just wrapped up an amazing #MUZZAScienceWeek in Zagreb! The excitement among children and young people was palpable as they delved into the fascinating world of science. This year's theme, "Smart Future," showcased groundbreaking advancements in STEM.

Just back from an incredible experience at the BioTrans conference where all the ESRs of the CC-TOP project came together! The connections made and ideas exchanged were invaluable. Huge thanks to the organizers for their splendid job in bringing us together! #MSCA #ITN #H2020

What a beautiful and sunny day in Göttingen 😎☀️! For his secondment, Andrea Rizzo, our ESR 10, is working at the Uni Göttingen together with Camilla Leogrande (ESR 6) and Massimo Di Mascio (ESR 12) on the crystallization of a DERA aldolase. Good luck! 👨‍🔬

Another day another secondment🙌🏼 Diletta Arceri (ESR 15) is developing a droplet based method for the screening of Dddk activity at the UAM Autónoma Madrid together with John Martinez (ESR 2).

CCTOP is going industrial! 🦾 We announce our 3rd training school! 🎉 Our ESRs will have the chance to take a look into the world of research in industry, learn about patents, industrial processes and sustainable chemistry while networking through a special workshop! Exciting!🤩

ESR5, Alessia Tonoli (AlessiaTonoli), has begun her secondment at the University of Göttingen (Uni Göttingen) 🧪🇩🇪 She’s now working on crystallizing novel transketolases and uncovering their structure 😍💎 Let’s Gö(ttingen)!

We are thrilled to share the exciting news that ESR9 Giuseppe Arbia has begun his collaboration at BASF with ESR11 Mireia Salvado Pau and Dr. Michael Breuer. His task will focus on the optimization and scale-up of enzyme cascade reactions. We wish them a fruitful journey!

Today marks the 156th anniversary of the extraordinary Marie Skłodowska-Curie! 🎂 Her legacy thrives through the #MSCA, empowering researchers worldwide. Join the celebration and discover how you can contribute to the spirit of innovation she ignited. 👇

Our ESR 8 Lucrezia Lanza, is diving into intense days of HPLC analysis at the University of Zagreb! 👩‍🔬 She is developing a kinetic model for a novel ThDP dependent enzyme. Join us in wishing the best of luck on this thrilling project.🍀🚀 #Research #Innovation #Teamwork

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and happy holidays from the CC-TOP crew! 🎄❄️✨ May your agar plates be festive and colorful! 🧫🧑‍🎨 #agarart #merrychristmas #phdlife
