Tuesday 9th November - Gender and Science and Innovation

- Professor John McGeehan, Professor of Structural Biology and the Director for the Centre for Enzyme Innovation (CEI)

Professor McGeehan led the team on the ground-breaking research on enzymes that can digest polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a common plastic found in single-use plastic bottles and clothing. Professor McGeehan’s expertise covers:

  • Engineering enzymes for industrial biotechnology applications
  • The use of enzyme-based technologies to help tackle the challenge of plastic pollution and develop low energy, low carbon, biorecycling solutions.
  • Enzyme based recycling reduces energy and greenhouse gas emissions
