Custom Photo-bioreactors
Custom Photo-bio reactors

Interested in 3D CAD design (Autodesk Tinkercad), microelectronics (Arduino, Raspberry Pi) and good old fashioned engineering & tinkering?

We are currently developing and/or designing:

- Bubble column (photo-) bioreactors for CO2 sequestration from algae
- Multi-parallel automated scale-down photo-bioreactors
- Solid state bioreactors for fungal cultures

Algae Bioprocessing

Do you think green (or red, or brown, or pink, or yellow....) photo-synthetic organisms are cool?

We are currently working on a number of algae based projects:

- Algae based bioprocesses without the addition of compressed CO2
- Impact of incident light (wavelength, intensity, photoperiod) on algae metabolism
- Encapsulation of algae cells in hydrogels
- Applications of algae in the food and cosmetics industries

Are you curious to find out where else (apart from Pizza) you can use mushrooms?

We are currently working on a number of fungi based projects:

- Fungi based processing of lignocellulosic biomass
-Valorisation of ground coffee beans
- Solid state fermentation

Mathematical Modelling
Mathematical Modelling

Do you like mathematical modelling, equations and/or programming?

We are currently developing models and/or algorithms in the following areas:

- Modelling (Flux Balance Analysis) of photosynthetic metabolism in Algae
- Dynamic predictive models of mammalian cell cultures for the production of mAbs
- Process models for rAAV manufacturing
- Stochastic parameter estimation algorithms
