The traditional biennial Conference on Multistep Enzyme Catalysed Processes (MECP) will be held in the beautiful setting of the city of Milano, from 29 March to 1 April 2026, hosted by Politecnico di Milano, in participation with Università degli Studi di Milano (UNIMI), Università degli Studi di Milano Bicocca (UNIMIB), Università di Pavia (UNIPV) and the SCITEC institute of the National Research Council of Italy (SCITEC-CNR).
The ‘biocatalysis community’ of Milano and Pavia is delighted to offer you the chance to spend a few days of stimulating lectures, engaging discussions and fruitful networking in the field of enzyme-mediated synthesis, together with the opportunity of a pleasant stay in the lively city of Milano while enjoying the charming atmosphere of early Italian spring, alongside art, culture, food and fashion.
During the meeting, the latest advances in the following key areas will be presented:
- multi-enzymatic and chemo-enzymatic cascades for sustainable industrial processes;
- bioprocess engineering to design and use living cells for the synthesis of valuable chemical products;
- enzyme engineering, discovery, and design, including methods based on computational tools and/or machine learning strategies;
- flow biocatalysis, from the recent achievements for enzyme immobilisation, to new compartmentalisation strategies and to integration of process analytical technologies;
....and even more, according to the breadth of your ongoing research.
The conference will feature X invited lectures, more than X oral communications, X poster sessions and a free afternoon to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the city.
We look forward to welcoming you to Milano and enjoying together MECP 2026!
Sincerely
