In recent years, the use of biocatalytic approaches for chemical manufacture has seen an increasing interest from the industry. In pharmaceutical manufacturing biocatalysis can provide many advantages, including reduction of manufacturing costs, increasing product quality, improving safety, and reducing hazardous waste and other harmful impacts on the environment.  Ever improving enzyme optimization technologies and new platform developments make biocatalysis a commercially viable and cost-effective alternative for chemical synthesis.  This presentation will highlight recent technology advances in the context of specific manufacturing challenges.
