Profile/competences

Core competencies

Micro bioprocess engineering: Miniaturisation and parallelisation of stirred-tank reactors along with automation of process management; Biocatalysis: Development of new reaction engineering methods and devices to intensify whole cell biotransformations of hydrophobic, unstable and/or toxic substrates up to a technical scale; Metabolic process analysis: High-performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) will be applied to determine - and if necessary to identify - very low concentrations of metabolites in micro-organisms; Downstream processing: Improved unit operations, new devices and process integration
