The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability (DTU Biosustain)

Recent progress in our ability to read and write genomic code, combined with advances in automation, analytics and data science, has fundamentally changed the scope and ambition of harnessing the potential of biological systems. Big data approaches and analysis of biological systems are key research instruments at the Center. DTU Biosustain utilizes these advances for microbial cell factory design to foster sustainable lifestyles in relation to three application areas: Sustainable Chemicals, Natural Products, and Microbial Foods.

The Microbial Foods subgroup in the Bacterial Synthetic Biology Section at DTU Biosustain is working on the development of sustainable foods for the future using microorganisms. We share our passion and enthusiasm for microbiology, a green future and food. We are thriving towards scientific innovation and excellence through thoughtful and responsible science, communication and collaboration.
