Program Overview

The promotion of the biotechnology sector occupies an important place in the political agenda of Algeria. Biotechnology is recognized as one of the key priority sectors in the economic development of several countries as it is one of the sectors expected to contribute to business creation, innovation and sustainable economy..

In this context, enzyme engineering is one of the most promising tools in the development of products with economic interest. Enzymes play an important role due to their specific and efficient catalytic action. Nowadays, microbial enzymes are developed to meet various human needs, such as enzymatic conversion, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, production of drugs, removal of environmental pollutants, etc. Enzyme engineering is a discipline that uses the methods and techniques of genetic engineering and protein engineering to improve the characteristics of the enzymes produced.

The purpose of this speciality is to develop human resources in the field of enzymatic engineering. Students will be able to manipulate microorganisms in order to produce, purify and characterize enzymes with interesting properties for the industrial sector. This training is oriented towards industrial biotechnology with the aim of providing students with solid theoretical and practical knowledge that will allow them to work in different industries or even create their own companies.
