Fermentation
Industrial fermentation processes are at the forefront of modern biotechnology, driving innovation across various sectors, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and biofuels. By utilizing microorganisms to convert raw materials into valuable products, industrial fermentation enables the efficient production of essential goods such as antibiotics, vitamins, and bio-based chemicals. As industries continue to seek environmentally friendly solutions, industrial fermentation stands out as a powerful tool for meeting global demands while minimizing environmental impact.
Research at BiERLAB aimes at improving the performances and efficiency of fermentation processes, by integrating experimental activities with modelling and simulation, with an industrial process-oriented approach.
Specific research topics include:
– Photofermentation processes for hydrogen production and bioremediation applications
– Microbial fermentation for pharmaceutical applications
