Turner Biocatalysis

We are excited to share that our work on a multifunctional enzyme that catalyses conjugate reduction and reductive amination is out now in @nature! This was a collaboration with the Grogan group @YSBL, @Prozomix and @pfizer nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our very own Nick Turner kicking off #Biotrans2025 yesterday! Looking forward to a week of great talks, posters and discussions here in Basel 🇨🇭

#Biotrans2025 is off to a fantastic start! A big thanks to the > 600 #biocatalysis enthusiasts that made their way to Basel. The opening ceremony was made truly special by inspiring lectures from @erblabs and @Turner_Biocat and beautiful protein tunes by Nora Eifler!

We are looking for an ambitious and talented research fellow (lecturer level) to work on an exciting new synthetic genomics project. The research fellow will be encouraged to develop independent research lines complementary to the main project. jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?…

We are hiring! We welcome applications from ambitious early career scientists for the position of lecturer within the MIB. Further details and applications here: jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?…
