Our Institute of Bio- and Geosciences - Biotechnology (IBG-1) is a leader in bioprocess development in the field of industrial biotechnology. Our Bioprocesses and Bioanalytics working group has extensive expertise in the development of microbial bioprocesses and strain engineering using tools and workflows for laboratory automation, miniaturization and digitalization. Our research focuses on innovative approaches to targeted screening of strain libraries and bioprocess development. Modern bioprocess optimization benefits dramatically from high throughput technologies to screen large strain libraries or cultivation conditions. To automate this screening process, an automation platform is currently set up in the Institute. One part of this automation platform is a Growth Profiler device (Enzyscreen) which allows for the cultivation of 10 x 96 cultures in parallel. This high throughput will pave the way for machine learning techniques in bioprocess development. Ready to push the boundaries of biotech? Apply now!
