Our main research field covers technical and fundamental aspects of the application of whole cells and isolated enzymes in biocatalysis and environmental biotechnology. The research involves bioprocess development, non-conventional biotransformations, online reaction analysis, microreaction engineering as well as biodegradation. Process engineers, biotechnologists, chemists and microbiologists interact in a unique interdisciplinary way in our laboratories that provide state-of-the-art equipment for research and education. Our institute is involved in different B. Sc. and M. Sc. programs and takes care of BTA and CTA applicants.
