The Cosgrove Group at Keele University
Using continuous flow biocatalysis to enable enzymes for organic synthesis
Biocatalysis
Continuous Flow
Bioprocess optimisation
We are a research group at Keele University in the UK. Our research focusses on using technology to improve and increase biocatalysis application in synthetic chemistry, with a particular focus on enzyme immobilisation and continuous flow.
Group news
02/2024: There is a postdoctoral research associate position available with us and Prof Gavin Miller. The project is a collaboration with Unilever, UCL, the University of Manchester and the University of Liverpool, funded by the BBSRC.
02/2024: We have a new PhD studentship available for a 09/2024 start. The project, which will focus on enzymatic approaches to surfactant-like molecules and derivatives, is in collaboration with Prof Gavin Miller and industry partners Unilever.
