Nature Chemical Biology (2025): “Advances in integrating microbial metabolism with catalytic systems”
Integrated catalytic systems that combine microbial metabolism with chemocatalysis, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis and biocatalysis are emerging as sustainable solutions for hybrid chemical–biosynthetic production and environmental remediation. By leveraging the strengths of engineered microbial cells and their metabolic pathways, along with synthetic catalysts, these hybrid systems use the unique benefits of each catalytic process to enable complex, […]
Nature Reviews Methods Primers (2025): “Flow biocatalysis”
Flow biocatalysis uses enzymes to catalyse chemical reactions under continuous flow with applications in the synthesis of fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and natural products, among others. The flow set-up, which, in its core elements, is no different from a classical flow chemistry apparatus, has enabled reaction conditions and reactivities impossible to achieve in batch mode. In […]

ChemCatChem (2020): “Looking back: A short history of the discovery of enzymes and how they became powerful chemical tools”
Chris during the lockdown made the most of hist time by writing chapters of his thesis. When he sent me the introduction I was so very impressed by his story-telling ability and unique take on how to craft such chapter. I had no doubt we had to try and publish it. I am ever so […]
