Linqiu Cao studied Organic Chemistry and Biotechnology at the Beijing University of Science and Technology (China). He was a visiting scientist at GBF (Gesellschaft für Biotechnologische Forschung) in Braunschweig (Germany) and later moved to the University of Stuttgart (Germany) to obtain a Ph D in Biotechnology. He then joined the group of Roger Sheldon at the Technical University in Delft (The Netherlands), where he pioneered a novel enzyme immobilisation technology with improved performance in biocatalytic transformations using cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs). In 2000, he joined the newly founded company Avantium in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) where he continued to develop novel enzyme crosslinking and immobilisation technology. Recently he moved to DMV in Veghel (The Netherlands).
