EBInnov® BIO4TECH
Bioengineering | Bioproduction & Bioresources | 2 themes
- Bioproduction of molecules of interest: recombinant proteins, biopolymers
- Sustainable valorization of plant biomass and co-products: olive oil, perfume, aromatic and medicinal plant (PPAM) industries, green extraction
Bioproduction, bioresources and bioactivities
EBInnov® BIO4TECH relies on expertise in microbiology, bioprocesses, genetic engineering, and bioinformatics to explore micro-biodiversities and sustainably enhance biomasses with applications in the health, cosmetics, and environmental sectors. The expertise is divided into 3 programs.
- Design of bioactive supports for cell culture
- Production of biopolymers (PHA and EPS) by hyperhalophilic bacteria
- Valorization of borage, extraction of active molecules
Bioproduction
Development and modelling of new bioproduction, biotransformation and extraction processes for biomolecules: biopolymers, recombinant proteins, secondary metabolites.
Objectification of biological activities
Cell and tissue models, microbiological testing, biochemical activities, cosmetic actives, biomaterials, enzyme immobilization, development and evaluation of new microbicidal agents and materials
