July 30, 2026 - GTU Office of Press and Public Relations — Prof. Barış Binay, a faculty member in the Department of Bioengineering at Gebze Technical University (GTU), has been invited to serve as a Guest Editor for a new special issue of AMB Express, a prestigious international journal published by Springer Nature. — The Call for Papers for this prestigious special issue, which will be co-edited with Asst. Prof. Yunus Ensari from Kafkas University, has been announced to researchers worldwide.
Titled "Biocatalyst Engineering for Industrial, Environmental, and Biomedical Biotechnology: Design and Applications," the special issue aims to highlight the increasingly critical role of biocatalysts in advancing the transition toward a sustainable and bio-based economy.
Bridging enzyme engineering and applied bioprocess development, the special issue will bring together cutting-edge research articles and review papers across three major areas of biotechnology:
• Industrial Biotechnology: Production of fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food/feed ingredients • Environmental Biotechnology: Degradation of microplastics and pollutants, wastewater treatment, and CO₂ capture and conversion • Biomedical Biotechnology: Development of diagnostic biosensors, therapeutic enzymes, and next-generation screening tools
Featured Research Topics The special issue welcomes contributions from the international scientific community, with particular interest in innovative research focusing on:
• Computational design and enzyme discovery powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) • Directed evolution and high-throughput screening of enzyme variants • Enzyme immobilization and carrier design for enhanced stability • Whole-cell biocatalysis and cell-free enzymatic systems • Multi-enzyme cascades, pathway engineering, and continuous-flow biocatalysis
This international achievement of our academic further enhances the scientific visibility of our university. Researchers working in relevant fields are invited to submit their work for publication in this prestigious collection.
The deadline for manuscript submission has been announced as March 24, 2027. Researchers seeking further information or wishing to submit their manuscripts may visit the official website of AMB Express published by Springer Nature.
We congratulate our academic and wish him continued success in his scientific endeavors.
