Biotechnology Core

The Biotechnology Core specializes in scalable testing and process optimization for fermentation, bioprocessing, and bio-based production. With advanced next-generation sequencing platforms, bioreactors, monitoring systems, and technical expertise, the facility enables researchers and startups to refine experimental protocols, improve production parameters, and scale processes from laboratory trials to pre-commercial production.

Applications include:

• Advanced next-generation sequencing: facilitates the biocatalyst development through design, build, test, and learn (DBTL) cycle.
• Fermentation Science: Microbial strain development, optimization, and process validation.
• Food and Beverage Innovation: Functional ingredient development and product prototyping.
• Bio-Manufacturing: Platform chemicals, enzyme production, biopolymer synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and bioactive compound generation.
• Environmental and Clean Energy Applications: Industrial waste valorization, Algae-based production, biofuel testing, and sustainable bioprocess development for enabling the circular economy.

By providing hands-on support, process consulting, and access to cutting-edge technology, the Biotechnology Core empowers innovators to accelerate product development, reduce risk, and bring bio-based solutions to market efficiently.
