One of the priorities of the IQCC is to strengthen the connections with industry, both nationally and internationally. Continuation of ongoing collaborative research efforts and initiating new joint projects are a high priority for the institute. Actually, there are several collaborations with the private sector. Furthermore, this month, Dr. Sílvia Osuna has started a new

The Catalan Association for Scientific Communication (ACCC), within the Gender Perspective group, wants to make female leading researchers in Catalonia visible. For this reason, the exhibition “Científiques Catalanes 2.0” was designed . The exhibition started two years ago, in which many of the included scientists have been recognized in different fields of research. Among them, we
This week the Real Sociedad Española de Química (RSEQ) announced that Sílvia Osuna, ICREA professor at the Institut de Química Computacional i Catàlisi (IQCC) of the UdG, received the Marcial Moreno-Mañas Award 2021, for her outstanding scientific career on the design of new enzymes of industrial interest using computational chemistry tools. The Marcial Moreno-Mañas Prize for Young
Next Friday (10th of December, 11.00h, Sala de Graus – Facultat de Dret) will be the defense of the doctoral thesis of Lorenzo D’Amore, titled “Enzymatic and bioinspired iron oxidation chemistry: a computational study”, supervised by Sílvia Osuna and Marcel Swart from IQCC. We wish him good luck and all the best! Girona, December 3, 2021
Allostery is a central mechanism for the regulation of multi-enzyme complexes. The mechanistic basis that drives allosteric regulation is poorly understood but harbors key information for enzyme engineering. In the present study, we focus on the tryptophan synthase complex that is composed of TrpA and TrpB subunits, which allosterically activate each other. Specifically, we develop
The IQCC is starting a new series of online talks to address challenges in the research fields where the IQCC is playing a role, through the investigations of one of the Principal Investigators. An external expert is invited to give a seminar, together with one of the junior researchers of the IQCC. These complementary views will highlight
Dr. Sergi Ruiz-Barragan has recently become a new member of the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC). Dr. Ruiz-Barragan did his PhD at the IQCC/University of Girona on modelling of potential energy surfaces for photochemistry: conical intersections and application to optical control under the supervision of Dr. Lluís Blancafort in 2014. He has postdocotral
The Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis of the University of Girona organizes the 2021 virtual edition of the Science Slam to show the most representative research projects of the Institute to a wide audience. A Science Slam is a form of science communication where scientists present their own scientific research work in a short
Last week at the Next Generation of Biocatalysis conference in Bern, Carla Calvó-Tusell, PhD student under the supervision of Dr. Marc Garcia-Borràs and Dr. Sílvia Osuna, presented her work on switching the cofactor specificity of FDH enzyme, and won one of the best oral presentation awards. Congratulations Carla! Girona, June 1, 2021 For more
The Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) of the University of Girona (UdG) is a worldwide reference unit in computational chemistry and catalysis that aims at carrying out groundbreaking research on predictive chemistry for catalysis, with special focus on the processes occurring at the confined space for the coming years. One of the pillars
