Research
Research in the Integrated Catalysis CDT is based on the integration of biocatalytic and chemocatalytic processes.
The integration of these processes is fundamental to the future of molecule manufacturing across the entire chemical industry.
Research conducted within iCAT will see us collaborating closely with the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology and the Centre of Excellence for Biocatalysis, Biotransformation and Biocatalytic Manufacture (CoEBio3).
