The Bioengineering Department and specifically the Group of Biochemistry from the Institut Químic de Sarrià- Ramon Llull University leaded by Prof. Antoni Planas is looking for two applicants interested in IEF-Marie Curie actions.

Topic I
The Marie Curie proposal is focused on enzyme engineering of glycosidases and glycosyltransferases as biocatalysts for complex carbohydrate structures.

Topic II
The Marie Curie proposal is focused on the metabolic engineering of E. coli and yeast microorganisms for the glycolipids production.
