Gerard Roelfes is awarded a Vici grant
The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) has awarded a VICI grant to Gerard Roelfes, associate professor in the Stratingh Institute for Chemistry. In his project, entitled "Artificial Metalloenzymes: augmenting biological synthesis with chemical versatility", he will focus on the development of new artificial metalloenzymes, which are hybrids between chemical and biological catalysts, and their application in living cells. The ultimate goal of this project is expanding the repertoire of biological synthesis with unnatural reactions, which will lead to a more sustainable approach to chemistry.
As one of the first, Gerard Roelfes has now been awarded all the grants in the innovational research scheme (veni, vidi & vici).
