Fructose Reduction for Healthy Drinks
You want healthy drinks with all the valuable ingredients and a good taste, but without or at least with less sugar? The good news is: You are not alone! The bad news is: It’s difficult to achieve with current technologies … Let’s develop some better ones!

Rapid Sepsis Diagnostics
acib has developed a new diagnostic tool for early sepsis detection through novel biomarkers based on circulating-free nucleic acids. The test allows for detection of sepsis 2-3 days before first symptoms occur and shows >80% accuracy.

Research for a better world
acib’s vision is a world without suffering and with affordable access to food and medicine for all the people on this world. acib’s mission is to enable cost-effective and environmentally friendly new processes and products through the development of new technologies.

Improving adhesion of preadipocytes and muscle stem cells – optimization of coating proteins for medicine, pharma and cultivated meat.
Coating proteins are part of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, medicine, and research to improve the adhesion of mammalian cells to surfaces/tissues in vivo and in vitro. Of the several hundred ECM proteins, only a few proteins are widely used for coating, with little research into their optimization.

Unlock the potential of microalgae to improve the functionality and sustainability of your product
Are you looking for an eco-friendly approach to improve the functionality of your product? Or do you want to integrate a renewable bioresource into your production pipeline and increase its sustainability? Microalgae could be your solution.

Biotechnological PFAS-degradation
There are compounds so stable and inert that their potential for innovation and industrial applications seemed endless … and they have been produced in huge amounts. Their global accumulation in both environments, wildlife and humans, however, have lots of detrimental effects, but since they are so stable, there is nothing that we can do – or is there?

CyanoCare: novel cyanobacterial polymer for skin care
Have you ever wondered about the amout of chemicals your skin is exposed to every day? If not, you should, especially when nature has so many great options to offer us. acib is developing one of those, and it is called Cyanoflan.

Advanced Microbiome Research
Every human being has not only more microbial cells than human cells but also more microbial genes than human ones… Our microbiome has a huge influence on our health and the same is true for animals and plants… Let’s tap this potential for a better life!

Advanced Antibody Engineering
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have had a huge impact on both diagnostics and treatment of diseases. However, it is still a challenge to design, evaluate and compare the right functions, as well as to optimize them for optimal specificity, affinity, avidity, stability, solubility, expressability, effector-functions, valency, payload(s), etc. Let acib do it for you!

CO2-Recycling: Carbon Dioxide-Negative Bioplastic Production
acib in cooperation with Graz University of Technology has developed a method for automatic production of bioplastics from CO2. The CO2 from exhaust gases is assimilated by bacteria and converted into biodegradable natural polymers.
