معرفی
Dr. Nikola Loncar is affiliated with the University of Groningen's Faculty of Science and Engineering, specifically within the Biotechnology department under the Groningen Biomolecular Sciences and Biotechnology program. His research focuses on molecular enzymology, biocatalysis, and applied microbiology. He is also the CEO of GECCO Biotech B.V.
His work spans biocatalytic systems, enzyme characterization, and industrial applications such as textile dyeing. Key areas include enzymatic catalysis of organic reactions, structural enzymology, and metabolic engineering.
Recent publications highlight contributions to enzyme engineering (e.g., HMFO variants, OTEMO monooxygenase), microbial systems (respiratory complex I mutations), and protein-ligand interactions (starch binding sites). His research integrates biochemistry, molecular biology, and biotechnology for both fundamental and applied outcomes.
Loncar leads the Molecular Enzymology group and maintains partnerships with industry through his role at GECCO Biotech, emphasizing translational research. No awards are explicitly listed, but his active patent filings (e.g., textile dyeing process) indicate commercialization efforts.
