Almac Sciences: Science Foundation Ireland Industry Fellowship
Almac Sciences, a member of the Almac Group, has landed a science Foundation Ireland (SFI) Industry Fellowship, in collaboration with University College Dublin (UCD) flow chemistry Specialist Marcust Baumann.
The Industry Fellowship program is designed to foster collaboration between industry and academia, through funding of research projects focused on the exchange of ideas in the country. The CATCH project (the name of which is derived from “continuous biocatayzed chemicals”) is committed to developing sustainable technologies that enable competitive, and environmentally friendly, manufacture of chemical intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) via the synergetic marriage of continuous flow and biocatalytic processes.
Baumann commented, “This project will enhance my academic profile by extending my research portfolio into industrially relevant fields through close collaboration with a world leading industrial partner like Almac.”
