SPECIAL COLLECTION
CONTRIBUTIONS WELCOME!
Dear Participants of IBPRO2025,
we are proud to be organizing a Special Collection in collaboration with Selin Kara, Bekir Engin Eser, Pablo Domínguez de María, Vicente Gotor-Fernández, and Gonzalo de Gonzalo (guest editors). We would be delighted if you could contribute. Should you wish to accept this invitation, please complete this form.
On February 13th, 2025 we lost a great colleague, friend, supervisor, and mentor, Iván Lavandera. To commemorate his legacy in the field of biocatalysis, this Special Collection will be dedicated to Iván Lavandera, and so this Special Collection will feature contributions both from participants of IBPRO2025 and Ivan’s laboratory alumni and scientific colleagues. Please feel free to forward this email to anyone who may be interested in contributing.
We welcome contributions of all types, but the submission of your next high-impact research article is particularly encouraged. To assist with planning, we would greatly appreciate receiving a response from you by 13th June 2025. The submission due date is 30.09.2025 – please let us know if you would like to participate but require additional time.
We hope that you will agree to submit a manuscript to this Special Collection and look forward to hearing from you, also with any questions you may have.
Form submission please via:

To celebrate and highlight IBPRO2025, we are organizing a Special Collection in collaboration with ChemBioChem, ChemCatChem and Chemical Engineering & Technology, and would be delighted if you could contribute (submission deadline is 30.09.2025).
We welcome contributions of all types, and the submission of your next high-impact research article is particularly encouraged. Review-type articles are also very welcome; for the latter please contact the editorial office at ChemBioChem or ChemCatChem or Chemical Engineering & Technology with a rough outline of the proposed topic. To assist us in our planning, please let us know if you are interested in contributing to this Special Collection. Please submit your contribution from now until the submission deadline, indicating in your cover letter that the manuscript is being submitted in response to this invitation.
In Memoriam of Professor Iván Lavandera Garcia
On February 13th, 2025 we lost a great colleague, friend, supervisor, and mentor, Iván Lavandera. Iván was a brilliant scientist with lots of energy and enthusiasm to inspire people around him for research and teaching within biocatalysis. Ivan’s contributions to biocatalysis were nothing short of remarkable. But beyond his professional achievements, Iván was known for his kindness, generosity, and collaborative spirit. He was always ready to lend a helping hand, share his knowledge, and support his colleagues. His presence will be greatly missed, but his impact will remain with us. In gratitude to Iván and to commemorate his legacy, we wish to dedicate to him the IBPRO2025 Special Collection organised together by ChemBioChem, ChemCatChem, and Chemical Engineering & Technology. This special collection will host contributions from IBPRO2025 participants but will also feature invited articles from Ivan’s laboratory alumni members and scientific colleagues.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Selin Kara, Bekir Engin Eser, Pablo Domínguez de María, Vicente Gotor-Fernández, Gonzalo de Gonzalo (guest editors)
Full details of our requirements for all contribution types and instructions for manuscript preparation and submission can be found on the corresponding journal homepage. Please note that manuscripts intended for the Special Collection will be subjected to the same high level of peer-review scrutiny as applied to all material submitted to ChemBioChem, ChemCatChem and Chemical Engineering & Technology .
