Sustainable Bioproduction

We advance sustainable bioproduction by engineering enzymes, cells, crops, and microbial communities into efficient, scalable synthesis platforms to support the green transition of industrial biotechnology for an advanced resource-saving bioeconomy. Integrating genetics, synthetic biology, biocatalysis, and bioprocess engineering, we convert renewable inputs, such as light, CO2, and diverse carbon-based feedstocks, into bulk and fine chemicals, bioactive molecules, and biomaterials. Guided by discovery, technology, and data-driven research, we redesign catalytic function, metabolism, and regulatory networks to translate mechanistic insight into sustainable bioproduction.

Speakers: Prof. Dr. O. Kruse and Prof. Dr. S. Hammer
