About us
The Austrian Centre of Industrial Biotechnology (acib) bundles the expertise of key researchers from seven Austrian universities in the multiple disciplines of industrial biotechnology and bioengineering. acib works as “missing link” between universities, the national and international biotechnological industry and international renowned research institutions who are all integrated project partners.
The centre wants to be the preferred partner for competitive research in industrial biotechnology, focused on biocatalysis, enzymes and (pharmaceutical) protein production.
acib partners get access to innovative scientific concepts, condensed academic brain power and the broad methodological expertise required in order to develop unique bioprocesses and products.
acib’s ambitious research programme includes development of new microbial and mammalian expression systems and concepts, extended innovative applications of biocatalysis and understanding bioproduction on a molecular and genome wide basis.
Areas of Expertise:
Biocatalytic Synthesis, Enzymes & Polymeres, Cell Design & Engineering, Protein Design & Engineering, Bioprocess Engineering, Metabolic Modelling, Synthetic Biology
