Advanced Course on Biotransformation
 
Goal of the training
 
Our aim is to make participant able to better apprehend or improve his knowledge in Biotransformation reactions.
These methods involve whole-cell microorganims to carry out reduction or oxydation (such as hydroxylation) reactions for the preparation of xenobiotics metabolites or New Chemical Entities (NCEs).
 
 
Participants
 
This one day training course is dedicated to people from industry such as fine chemistry, cosmetology, pharmacy, agrochemistry...belonging to metabolism, chemical or drug discovery departments...

Program
 
Welcome
Theoretical introduction
The goal of this section is to help participant to answer to the following crucial questions:
  • Why using microorganisms
  • How to handle them
  • The limiting factors and how to face them
Case studies
From recent cases depicted in the scientific literature:
  • we will analyse the opportunity to resort to microorganisms
  • we will assess the performances obtained compared to the traditional methods and taking into account the limits of the proposed method.
  • the study cases will comprise the reduction & hydroxylation methods.
Lunch
Methodological approaches
We will explore the different steps from screening to preparative
