Faculty of Pharmacy at Future University in Egypt Announces Research Seminar on Computational Enzyme Design FUE Theatre Entrance Columns (File Photo) “Computational Enzyme Design: Engineering New-to-Nature Biocatalysts” Speaker: Dr. Wael Elaily, PhD Institute of Molecular Biosciences, University of Graz, Austria Institute of Biochemistry, Graz University of Technology, Austria Date: 24 August 2025 Time: 1:00 PM Venue: Faculty of Pharmacy, Future University in Egypt About the Seminar The field of enzyme engineering is witnessing a remarkable transformation through computational de novo protein design — an innovative approach that enables scientists to design enzymes entirely from scratch, unrestricted by natural evolutionary pathways. Recognized by the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, this advanced methodology enables the development of enzymes with unprecedented specificity, stability, and functionality, even when targeting non-natural substrates. During the seminar, Dr. Wael Elaily will present his latest research on integrating physics-based simulations with deep learning techniques to create tailored enzyme platforms. These platforms exhibit enhanced properties such as substrate specificity, solvent tolerance, and resistance to mutation. Such advancements represent a breakthrough for white biotechnology and have far-reaching implications across pharmaceutical development, industrial biocatalysis, and environmental sustainability. Attendance is highly recommended for: Students and researchers in pharmaceutical sciences, biotechnology, biochemistry, and bioinformatics Individuals interested in computational biology, enzyme design, and industrial biotechnology Registration Information Those wishing to attend are encouraged to register through the following link: Registration Form Registration Deadline: Friday, August 22, 2025 For further inquiries, please contact: Email: [email protected] Phone: 01223761651 This seminar represents an excellent opportunity to engage with cutting-edge scientific developments and gain insights into the future of computational protein engineering.

Future University in Egypt (FUE) proudly welcomed distinguished faculty members from University College Cork (UCC), Ireland, as part of its expanding international academic collaboration efforts. This impactful visit, hosted by the Faculty of Pharmacy at FUE, is a testament to the university’s commitment to providing high-quality pharmaceutical education and global exposure to its students.An Enriching Educational ExperienceAs part of the initiative, renowned UCC professors—J. J. Keating, Kevin Murphy, and Harriet Bennett Lenane—delivered lectures and shared their expertise across a range of pharmaceutical science disciplines. These sessions offered valuable insights into innovative pharmaceutical practices, current global research trends, and advanced academic methodologies.A Meaningful CollaborationThis academic exchange is part of a broader strategic partnership between FUE and UCC, aimed at enhancing curriculum development, encouraging international knowledge sharing, and fostering student engagement. The collaborative lectures not only strengthened the students’ understanding of key scientific concepts but also enriched the academic environment at FUE through diverse global perspectives.Special ThanksFuture University in Egypt extends heartfelt appreciation to Professors Keating, Murphy, and Bennett Lenane for their dedicated contribution. Their presence underscores the university’s ongoing mission to cultivate an internationally competitive educational environment.This visit marks another successful step in FUE’s journey toward becoming a global hub for pharmaceutical innovation and education, and we look forward to further fruitful collaborations with UCC and other leading institutions worldwide.
