Biocatalysis. The biocatalysis training rotations expose students to core principles and techniques of biocatalysis. Students experience techniques such as PCR, gel electrophoresis, protein expression and purification, enzymatic assays and kinetic analysis among others.

Homogeneous Catalysis. These rotations allow students to gain experience of advanced synthetic and analytical techniques from both organic and inorganic disciplines. Examples include catalyst preparation, air-sensitive manipulations using schlenck lines and gloveboxes, use of autoclaves to perform high-pressure reactions and analysis of asymmetric reactions using chiral HPLC.

Engineering and Heterogeneous Catalysis. Example experiments from this rotation include the synthesis of zeolite catalysts and analysis with XRD, using a flow reactor to examine the catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons, photocatalytic hydrogen production and catalytic vapour-phase deposition.
