acib as a
research center
In its role as an international research centre in all areas of industrial biotechnology, acib responds to pressing social issues such as the health crisis, the climate crisis, the shift from fossil energy sources to renewable resources, the preservation of ecosystems by avoiding harmful waste, and ensuring sufficient food to feed the world.
To find answers to key issues of our time, the transition to a sustainable bioeconomy is becoming increasingly important.
Therefore industrial biotechnology plays a key role in the extraction and use of biological resources to produce valuable products in the pharmaceutical, food and feed sectors or the use of bio-based chemicals, materials and bioenergy,. To meet these demands, acib is active in the following research fields:
- Biocatalysis & chemical analytics
- Enzyme technologies & protein engineering
- Microbial biotechnology
- Bioinformatics & simulations
- Bioprocess technologies
- Bioeconomy & environmental biotechnology
International research projects
Currently, acib is involved in more than 90 international research projects. As a project coordinator and partner, acib is actively involved in a wide variety of EU projects.
