We're going digital!
Kisaco Research is committed to providing attendees across all of our events with the best possible experience, it’s for this reason we’ve decided to go digital and embrace the amazing new technology that enables us to deliver a virtual event.
Why Attend
Most enzymes found in nature are not suitable for industrial purposes. The field of protein and enzyme engineering is growing at a rapid rate, with competition within industries high and the need to optimize performance greater than ever.
The virtual Protein Engineering Congress is dedicated to uncovering the new and emerging practices, techniques and methods of protein and enzyme engineering across industries.
With industry approaching the design, build, and generation of new biocatalysts and molecules not found in nature, come and learn from our line-up of leading speakers to get an update on the new technologies used in the field of strain and protein engineering.
The breadth of topics discussed at this meeting will focus in on directed evolution, computational protein design, synthetic biology and white biotechnology, and applications of enzyme and protein engineering and industrial biocatalysis in the biopharmaceutical, flavor & fragrance, cosmetics, and food industries.
Attend and you'll be able to:
- Network with key opinion leaders and acquire new customers
- Form collaborations with companies who are engineering proteins and enzymes
- Meet with new technology partners to enhance internal R&D
- Understand the new applications of engineered enzymes and learn how to scale-up to large industrial manufacture
Meet attendees from companies including:
Confirmed 2020 Speakers
Frances Arnold
Frances Arnold’s work has been recognised by many awards including the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for pioneering the use of directed evolution to engineer enzymes. Arnold is co-inventor on over 40 US patents. Throughout her esteemed career and many achievements, Frances Arnold co-founded Gevo, Inc a company to make fuels and chemicals from renewable resources in 2005. She has been on the corporate board of the genomics company Illumina Inc since 2016 and in 2019, she was named to the board of Alphabet Inc., making Arnold the third female director of the Google parent company.
At Caltech, Arnold runs a laboratory that continues to study directed evolution and its applications in environmentally friendly chemical synthesis and green/alternative energy, including the development of highly active enzymes (cellulolytic and biosynthetic enzymes) and microorganisms to convert renewable biomass to fuels and chemicals.

The Protein Engineering Congress USA is going virtual for 2020.
The global enzyme market is predicted to reach over $19 billion by 2025 due to cross-sector implementation of enzyme use, with the bio-pharmaceutical, agriculture, food ingredient, and flavor & fragrance industries accounting for the majority of this increase.
We are bringing together representatives from all industries to discuss how the global enzyme market is progressing and developments in the pipeline.
We are working with speakers to reconfirm their participation and will update the agenda accordingly within the next couple of weeks.
