Biotechnology & Sustainable Chemistry
The BIOTECHNOLOGY AND SUSTAINABLE CHEMISTRY research group works on biotechnological, analytical and chemical innovations to provide sustainable
solutions.
The Biotechnology and Sustainable Chemistry research group also conducts innovative research on microalgae, exploring their potential for producing valuable compounds such as pigments, antioxidants, lipids, and proteins. After developing heterotrophic cultures in the laboratory, the team shifted its focus to photoautotrophic organisms, which can utilize light and CO₂. By using photobioreactors, they are working on sustainable processes, particularly for the production of phycocyanin and polyunsaturated fatty acids. This research aligns with environmental sustainability goals, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases and fostering industrial partnerships in the cosmetics and food sectors.
