Biocatalysis - Engineering a Sustainable Future | Spring Into STEM
Enzymes are responsible for the wealth and diversity of natural products we utilise today, from fine chemicals such as drugs to materials for clothing or building. They are also involved in decomposing and recycling these materials, through the degradative pathways of animals and microorganisms. Can we harness the power of enzymes to create new and more powerful medicines, clean up and recycle our waste and put our industrial production on a more sustainable footing? We're very pleased to announce that Postdoctoral Research Fellow at UCL Biochemical Engineering Dr Jack Jeffries will be taking on the role of Lecturer in Biocatalysis and Biocatalyst Engineering this spring. His new role as Lecturer in Biocatalysis and Biocatalyst Engineering will include Delivering the 1st year undergraduate core module Biochemistry and Molecular biology and leading the development of biocatalysis and sustainable bioprocess research at the MFL.

Designing clean and efficient sustainable future fuels | Spring Into STEM
At UCL, we understand how science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are fundamental to the way we live our lives and shape so many of the things that we see and do every day. Dr Paul Hellier asks where future renewable fuels will be sourced from, and what will they look like? Can fuels from waste coffee or genetically engineered micro-algae replace fossil fuels in difficult-to-decarbonise transport sectors and help provide cleaner air? Find out how design of fuels at the molecular level is helping to answer these questions and more. #SpringIntoSTEM #UCLEngineering #MechanicalEngineering #RenewableFuels #Sustainability Find out more about us - search 'UCL Engineering', or visit https://www.ucl.ac.uk/engineering/
