In addition to graduates of the Flickinger laboratory that take academic positions, recent graduates and postdoctoral trainees also work in biocatalysis or process development groups in pharmaceutical or diagnostic firms (Pfizer, Merck &Co., Inc., Smithkline Beecham Pharmaceuticals, Bristol Meyers Squibb, R & D Systems, R.W. Johnson Research Institute, BioTherapy Institute), firms which manufacture enzymes, biomaterals or fine chemicals (Novo Nordisk, EnCore Technologies, 3M, Possis Medical, Cargil Dow, Inc., Hindustan Unilever, Véos, Inc., Eastman Kodak), at National laboratories (DoD, DoE), or at bioprocess engineering firms (ABEC, New Brunswick Scientific, Clark Richardson & Biskup).

Our cross-disciplinary research group collaborates with faculty and industrial scientists in this country, Europe, and Asia. Graduate students, visiting industrial scientists, and postdoctoral associates from the disciplines of biochemistry, molecular biology, chemical engineering, and materials science participate in one of three main research projects. Students and postdoctoral associates from 15 different countries have been trained in our group since 1985. In addition to greater than 100 peer reviewed publications, all of the projects in our laboratory have resulted in patent disclosures resulting in 18 issued U.S. and foreign patents.
