ENG4BIO

The EnG4BIO group at the Department of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) aims to promote responsible research, and knowledge enabling synergies between the public and private sectors as well as to train a new generation of highly qualified scientists in the cross-disciplinary field of Industrial and Medical Biotechnology (white and red biotechnology). Specifically, the main objective is to develop sustainable biotechnological processes intensified and optimized to obtain products of interest for the chemical, pharma, medical, food and health industries and to provide real-time analytical monitoring to improve the quality of products and processes. The research interests are focused on 1) microbial production of recombinant proteins and low molecular weight molecules 2) vaccines, proteins for diagnostic and gene and cells therapies, 3) multi-enzymatic processes including stereo selective synthesis 4) Integrating Process Analytical Technology (PAT), Quality by Design (QbD), internet of things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI), considered as key technologies in the industry 4.0.
