7th Hands-on Computational Enzyme Design Course
Date: 9 - 13 February 2026
Timezone: Brussels
Duration: 5 days
Language of instruction: English
This interactive course will provide essential theory on different areas of enzyme engineering and hands-on experience with several software tools suitable for mining new enzymes, and engineering the activity, specificity, enantioselectivity, stability, and solubility of enzymes. To remain at the cutting edge of scientific advancements, we will also explore the applications of machine learning techniques and quantum computing in enzyme design.
