CollaboratorsContinuing to Build Our OfferingsIn order to continuously develop and enhance our biocatalysis offering we collaborate with universities and specialist companies. Present collaborations include: Professor Nick Turner, University of Edinburgh, UK Professor J M Woodley, University College London, UK Professor Jenny Littlechild, University of Exeter, UK Dr. John Archer, University of Cambridge, UK Diversa U.K. Centre of Excellence in Biocatalysis, Biotransformations and Biocatalytic Manufacture (CoEBio3) - Dowpharma is one of the affiliate companies for the new CoEBio3. The Centre will comprise 60-80 researchers engaged in the use of natural catalysts (enzymes) for the preparation of high-value speciality chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and their intermediates. The overall objective of the centre is to rapidly expand the use of biocatalysis in synthetic organic chemistry. Aquapharm Bio-Discovery Ltd - Dowpharma have recently entered into a collaboration with Aquapharm to investigate their marine bio-organisms as sources of novel biocatalysts. The company specifically specialises in the discovery and development of novel bio-active natural products from the isolation & culture of new marine microbes from the diverse UK coast line & beyond. Through such collaborations, DowpharmaSM remains on the cutting edge of biotransformation technology while enabling our partners to access the benefits of a global company infrastructure.
