With a focus on innovations in sustainable bio-based solutions to replace non-renewable resources with waste streams and sustainably sourced biomass, the call aligns with many of acib’s research areas and our biotechnology expertise can directly address several key challenges (see the list further below). Additionally, our biotech-communication specialists are eager to take over communication, dissemination and exploitation to increase your project’s impact.
Topics:
HORIZON-JU-CBE-2024-RIA-01
Our expertise:
- Chemoenzymatic processes involving lignocellulosic matter.
- Recover glucose to be used as starting material for platform chemicals.
HORIZON-JU-CBE-2024-RIA-02
Our expertise:
- Plant-based production of recombinant proteins or peptides, recombinant animal or human glycoproteins, and recombinant glycoproteins with tailored glycans.
- Production of lignin based vegan leather, currently at lab scale with the potential for upscaling. Further, we are working on vegan leather for indoor usage, based on fungi.
- Microbial biotechnology to produce hormones, sterols (vegan cholesterol), animal oils and fats (project offers: Healthy Fatty Acids, Squalen and Biocatalytic Valorization of Fatty Acids), casein and collagen using non-animal-based feedstock: plant-based (side streams of food grade oil industry), microbial side-streams (yeast cell lysate, e.g. brewer yeasts).
HORIZON-JU-CBE-2024-RIA-04
Our expertise:
Lignin based anti-corrosive coatings, as well as biobased fire-retardant coatings.
HORIZON-JU-CBE-2024-RIA-05
Innovative bio-based food/feed ingredients
Our expertise:
- Industrial enzymes for glycosylations and biocatalytic reactions for prebiotics: With expertise on enzyme immobilization and formulation, reaction engineering and purification, we can provide functional prebiotics in kg-scale for glucosylglycerol, 100g-scale for cello-oligosaccharides and milligram-scale for human milk oligosaccharides.
- Microbial biotechnology for animal-like fats (PUFAs), functional/precision proteins (stable sweet proteins with no off-notes, casein and collagen), and other ingredients, using non-animal-based feedstock: plant-based (side streams of food grade oil industry), microbial side-streams (yeast cell lysate, e.g. brewer yeasts).
- Plant-based production of: recombinant proteins or peptides, recombinant animal or human glycoproteins, and recombinant glycoproteins with tailored glycans.
