Research focus
Biocatalysis: We harness enzymes and microorganisms to accelerate chemical reactions for cleaner, sustainable production.
Bioenergy: We harness biological processes to produce renewable energy, including biofuels and biogas.
Bioprocess engineering: We optimize processes for producing biological products, from pharmaceuticals and cells to biofuels and food, at scale.
Biomanufacturing: We design scalable production systems for biologics, harnessing cells and organisms to manufacture proteins, antibodies, and nucleic acids.
Bioprocess design: We design processes for large-scale biological production, ensuring efficiency, scalability, and regulatory compliance.
Biorefining: We develop sustainable processes to convert biomass into valuable chemicals, fuels, and materials.
Cellular modelling: We create models to simulate cellular behaviour, aiding in drug development, disease understanding, and understanding of fundamental biology.
Food Engineering: We apply advanced processes to improve food production, safety, and nutrition.
