Sebastian Bartsch is Head of Bioinformatics, Kerry Biotechnology Center. Trained in biochemistry, he discovered early on his passion for enzymology, enzyme engineering, and the application of computational methods. During his diploma and PhD at the University of Greifswald under Prof. Dr. Uwe Bornscheuer, he investigated enzymatic catalysis mechanisms and optimized enzymes for industrial use.
Following his doctorate, Sebastian joined Prof. Dr. Dick Janssen’s group at the University of Groningen as a postdoctoral researcher, where he expanded his expertise in using computational tools to explore the sequence–structure–function relationship of enzymes. In 2012, he became a project manager at c-LEcta GmbH in Leipzig, advancing through various roles until being appointed Head of Bioinformatics in 2022. He is inventor on several patents and author of 24 publications.
The food and beverage industry is evolving at pace. As sustainability goals grow in importance, consumer expectations shift, and regulatory frameworks adapt, there is a growing opportunity to explore new ways of innovating—guided by science, collaboration, and a shared commitment to better outcomes. Biotechnology and enzyme science are at the forefront of this shift—offering… Read more »
