Primary objective of the work at the Institute of Biotechnology (IBT-1 and IBT-2) of the Forschungszentrum Jülich is the development of biotechnological processes for manufacturing of pharmaceutical and chemical products.
Microbiologists, molecular biologists, biochemists, chemists, process engineers, and software engineers work together for better understanding and modification of metabolic processes in microorganisms used for production of high value adding products using e.g. multi-omics technologies.
