Welcome to BIOTRANS 2027. On behalf of the Organising Committee, we are pleased to welcome you to Oviedo, Spain. BIOTRANS continues its tradition as a leading forum for the biocatalysis community, bringing together academic and industrial researchers to share the latest advances in the fields of biocatalysis and biotransformations, exchange ideas and build new collaborations.

General Information

Welcome to BIOTRANS 2027 – the International Symposium on Biocatalysis and Biotransformations, part of the long-standing BIOTRANS conference series. On behalf of the Organising Committee, it is our great pleasure to invite you to Oviedo, the capital of Asturias in northern Spain, and to host you at the remarkable Palacio de Congresos de Oviedo, designed by Santiago Calatrava.

BIOTRANS is internationally recognised as a key meeting point for researchers and professionals working at the interface of chemistry, biology and biotechnology. The symposium provides a unique platform to present and discuss the latest developments in enzyme discovery, protein engineering, synthetic biology, biotransformations, chemoenzymatic approaches and the design of sustainable catalytic processes. With a strong participation from both academia and industry, BIOTRANS promotes scientific exchange and highlights new applications of biocatalysis in pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, materials and sustainable manufacturing.

The programme will feature plenary and keynote lectures delivered by leading international experts, oral and poster communications, and plenty of opportunities for networking and discussion. BIOTRANS 2027 aims to foster collaboration across disciplines, support early-career scientists and encourage the translation of fundamental discoveries into practical technologies.

Oviedo offers an exceptional setting for the symposium, combining modern infrastructure with a rich historical and cultural heritage. We hope you will enjoy the city’s welcoming atmosphere, its renowned gastronomy and the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of Asturias.

We look forward to welcoming you to BIOTRANS 2027 for an inspiring and memorable meeting.
