Generation and Exploitation of Fermentation Products in the Chemical Synthesis of Biologically Active Compounds with Therapeutic Potential. Dramatic developments in biotechnology have provided access to genetically engineered micro-organisms capable of effecting unusual transformations so as to form novel compounds of great value in chemical synthesis. This project will combine the powers of biotechnology with those of chemical synthesis to produce compounds that have therapeutic potential in th ....Generation and Exploitation of Fermentation Products in the Chemical Synthesis of Biologically Active Compounds with Therapeutic Potential. Dramatic developments in biotechnology have provided access to genetically engineered micro-organisms capable of effecting unusual transformations so as to form novel compounds of great value in chemical synthesis. This project will combine the powers of biotechnology with those of chemical synthesis to produce compounds that have therapeutic potential in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, cancer and viral infections.Read moreRead less
