Researchers from the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) and the Institute for Protein Design (IPD) have launched an initiative to transform the landscape of enzyme design.
Established today, the International Centre for Enzyme Design (ICED) will bring together internationally leading research teams to establish a fully integrated computational and experimental platform to develop a new generation of industrial biocatalysts.

Led by professor Anthony Green PhD, interim director of the MIB, along with professor Nicholas Turner, PhD, and Sarah Lovelock, PhD, and in partnership with IPD director David Baker, PhD, ICED aims to deliver customized biocatalysts for sustainable production of a wide range of chemicals and biologics, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, materials, commodity chemicals, and advanced synthetic fuels.
