Horizon 2020 Marie CurieGrant Agreement Number: 0Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? NoOffer Description The project aims at discovering and engineering new C-C forming enzymes for the condensation of simple organic compounds into multi-functional and branched molecules. This project will be developed in the framework of the ERC-Consolidator project (METACELL) funded by the European Union in the context of the Horizon 2020 program. This is an interdisciplinary project that seeks to broaden the toolbox for C-C coupling reactions using biocatalysis, with the ultimate goal of integrating the best enzymes into artificial metabolic networks for the biomanufacturing of chiral fine chemicals. The project will be carried out under an international environment and will bridge enzyme and metabolic engineering through a multidisciplinary research plan. This project will be supervised by Prof. López-Gallego (Heterogeneous Biocatalysis laboratory) from the CIC biomaGUNE.#J-18808-Ljbffr
