DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nBy virtue of their unrivaled selectivity profiles\
 , enzymes possess remarkable potential to address unsolved challenges in c
 hemical synthesis. The realization of this potential\, however\, has only 
 recently gained traction. Recent advances in enzyme engineering and genome
  mining have provided a powerful platform for identifying and optimizing e
 nzymatic transformations for synthetic applications and allowed us to begi
 n formulating novel synthetic strategies and disconnections. This talk wil
 l describe our recent efforts in developing a new design language in chemi
 cal synthesis that centers on the incorporation of biocatalytic approaches
  in contemporary synthetic logic. Case studies will focus on the use of th
 is platform in the chemoenzymatic syntheses of complex natural products an
 d also highlight how this platform could serve as a starting point to enab
 le further biological and medicinal chemistry discoveries.\n\n \n\nBio:\n
 \nHans Renata was born in Surabaya\, Indonesia. After completing his high 
 school education in Singapore\, he moved to the US and received his B.A. d
 egree from Columbia University in 2008\, conducting research under the tut
 elage of Professor Tristan H. Lambert. He earned his Ph.D. from The Scripp
 s Research Institute in 2013 under the guidance of Professor Phil S. Baran
 . After postdoctoral studies with Professor Frances H. Arnold at the Calif
 ornia Institute of Technology\, he started his independent career at The S
 cripps Research Institute in 2016. His research focuses on the development
  of new biocatalytic methods and chemoenzymatic strategies to prepare comp
 lex\, bioactive molecules. For these efforts\, he has received several not
 able awards\, such as the NSF CAREER award\, the Sloan fellowship\, the Ch
 emical and Engineering News “Talented 12” and the Arthur C. Cope Scholar a
 ward. In July 2022\, he took a position at Rice University as a Cancer Pre
 vention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) scholar.\n
