Industrial Biotechnology
Industrial biotechnology is transforming manufacturing by enabling complex molecules to be produced from low-cost feedstocks.
We work with a range of industries to develop improved medicines, oils and enzymes, and explore ways of maximising resource recovery from organic residues and wastes.
Our researchers manipulate microbial systems, plants and mammalian cell biology using state-of-the-art omics technologies, mathematical modelling and systems biology.

Impact
The results of our industrial biotechnology research are being put into action locally and internationally.
We focus on research that addresses two global challenges:
