fields of expertise
tuning of bioprocesses – acibs expertise therein helps to improve efficiency and reduce costs of biotechnological production processes and to design new production strategies.
downstream processing The combination of expertise on bioseparation processes with know-how on mathematical modelling and analysis of biophysical properties of macromolecules is the basis for the design of alternative approaches such as continuous bioseparation as well as their prediction and better understanding.
analytics Besides a broad panel of standard methods and all ”omics-technologies” acib provides access to highend analytical tools established within the centre and sophisticated instrumentation for chemical- and bio-analysis which are operated by highly-trained employees.
bioinformatics and modeling Bioinformatics and modeling experts at acib provide solutions that use rational design to reduce the resources that need to be invested into empirical approaches. acib methods facilitate the development of optimised processes or the search for new enzyme functionalities dramatically.
