BioNylonUp: Microbial Upcycling of Mixed Plastic Waste into Bio-based Nylon Precursors

Founder | Chief Scientific Officer at Saemyra

Ulm, Germany

About

Work packages:

- Molecular docking-guided engineering of plastic-deconstructing enzymes. Selective activity profiling against mixed waste streams
- Metabolic engineering of microbes (bacteria or yeast)
- Construction of upcycling pathways. PET/PHA/PLA hydrolysates → adipic acid, glutaric acid, 5-aminovaleric acid, 4-aminobutanol
- Purification and characterization of target molecules
- LCA and TEA
