Dyadic is a global biotechnology company focused on the discovery, development, manufacture and sale of enzymes and other proteins for the bioenergy, bio-based chemicals, biopharmaceutical and industrial enzyme industries.
Emalfarb's presentation at the World Biotechnology Congress will take place on June 6th , from 11:20 – 11:40 a.m. EDT , in Lecture Hall No. 201 (Level 2) at the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center.
Titled "Dyadic's C1 Enzyme Technology Update: On the Road to Cellulosic Sugars for Fuels and Chemicals," Emalfarb will discuss Dyadic's license agreements, commercial developments and progress toward producing cost-competitive cellulosic biofuels from agricultural byproducts such as corn stover and wheat straw.
Emalfarb will also co-chair the Industrial and Manufacturing session scheduled for Thursday, June 6th , from 2:00 – 5:10 p.m. EDT in Lecture Hall No. 201. The session will feature presentations on next-generation biofuels and new routes toward the development of novel antifungal therapeutics, among others.
At the BIO World Congress on Industrial Biotech on June 18th , Emalfarb will participate on a panel called "Global Benefits for Synthetic Biology Tools" from 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. EDT at the Palais des Congres de Montreal .
"Dyadic is making significant progress towards producing economically viable cellulosic biofuels and chemicals from C1-derived enzymes," said Emalfarb. "For instance, we expect that our C1 platform will be used to produce enzymes in commercial volumes when Abengoa Energy starts up its commercial scale cellulosic ethanol biorefinery in Hugoton, Kansas later this year."
Emalfarb continued, "We look forward to providing an update on this and other commercial developments at both of these internationally recognized scientific conferences."
