Main research activities/topics/projects

The laboratory of Microbial Biotechnology aims to convert renewable carbon sources, mainly waste streams, into value-added products using microbial cell catalysts. These cells (mainly constituted by non-conventional yeasts such as Yarrowia lipolytica) are manipulated genetically according to the principles of metabolic engineering in order to improve their production capabilities. Genetic manipulations often employ techniques of synthetic biology.
