Bioprocesses and Bioanalytics

About

The research activities of the Bioprocesses and Bioanalytics group are focused on the characterization and optimization of microbial bioprocesses, applying bioprocess and metabolic engineering principles including aspects of downstream processing and metabolic modeling. A key technology is the development and application of laboratory automation platforms for acceleration of microbial strain characterization, bioprocess optimization and molecular biology workflows.

Research Topics

- Metabolic and bioprocess engineering for high and low molecular weight products

- Laboratory automation tools for acceleration of molecular biology workflows and bioprocess development

- Tools to speed strain characterization and bioprocess developent by microscale cultivation, lab automation and digitalization

- Modeling and machine-learning tools for improved decision-making and autonomous microcultivation experiments

- Scale-down bioreactor approaches addressing scale-up and scale-down research topics
