Tom Desmet is coordinator of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). The goal of this research project is the development of biocatalytic processes for the glycosylation of small organic molecules such as flavonoids, alkaloids and steroids in order to improve both the physicochemical and biological properties of these molecules. Tom Desmet is Associate Professor for Biocatalysis and Enzyme Engineering at the University of Ghent and teaches Biocatalysis and Enzyme Technology.
