INSTITUTE OF CHEMISTRY AND BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY
ZURICH UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES
The Institute of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry (ICBC) at the Zurich University
of Applied Sciences runs an application driven research and development program
aiming at sustainable and innovative processes and solutions.
Areas of activity include chemical and biochemical engineering, miniaturized and
continuous processes, new sustainable processes for existing and new products,
chemical and biochemical catalysis, novel materials for applications in several
fields.
Resource and energy efficiency, functionalized coating applications, light
management, advanced catalysis, tissue engineering, drug discovery, in silico drug
design and syntheses, molecularly imprinted polymers, downstream processing proteins, are examples of our main interests.
Our cutting-edge technologies, research facilities and highly specialized expertise
bring successful collaborations with industry (SMEs, start-ups, large companies)
and academia at Swiss and European level.
We create and develop more sustainable processes and advanced materials for
industrial applications and green chemistry.
