  1. SPIRE Brokerage event December 16th 2013 SUSTAINABLE PROCESSINDUSTRY EUROPEAN INDUSTRIAL COMPETTIVENESS TROUGH Resource and energyefficiency Project Idea Presentation Zurich University of Applied Sciences

  2. Institute of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry ZuRICHUNIVERSITy OF APPLIED SCIENCES The Institute of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry (ICBC) at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences runs an application driven research and development program aiming at sustainable and innovative processes and solutions. Areas of activity include chemical and biochemical engineering, miniaturized and continuous processes, new sustainable processes for existing and new products, chemical and biochemical catalysis, novel materials for applications in several fields. Resource and energy efficiency, functionalized coating applications, light management, advanced catalysis, tissue engineering, drug discovery, in silicodrug design and syntheses, molecularly imprinted polymers, downstream processing - proteins, are examples of our main interests. Our cutting-edge technologies, research facilities and highly specialized expertise bring successful collaborations with industry (SMEs, start-ups, large companies) and academia at Swiss and European level. We create and develop more sustainable processes and advanced materials for industrial applications and green chemistry. 

  3. KEYWORDS: •  resource and energy efficiency •  functionalized coating applications •  light management, PV •  advanced catalysis •  green chemistry • nanoporous materials •  tissue engineering, 3D bioprinting •  drug discovery •  in silico drug design and synthesis •  medicinal chemistry • MIP, fiber-spinning •  protein downstream processing • analytics,sensoryapplications •  aroma profiles (coffee, volatiles) •  bioengineering, biofilms
