Biorefineries are set to become an important agent in the shift towards a circular economy due to their potential to valorize organic wastes into marketable products. Anaerobic fermentations yielding volatile fatty acids (VFA) are a key process in this biorefinery paradigm as VFA act as intermediates between the organic wastes and the final biorefinery products. However, the development of a new bioprocess based on mixed-culture fermentation is an extremely challenging task. Targeting the desired ...

Chronic non-healing skin ulcers are a source of considerable suffering worldwide, particularly in rapidly growing aging populations. Why skin becomes fragile and heals poorly as we age remains unclear, although current research indicates that a major reason may reside in defective “stem cells” in skin that normally fuel its renewal and regeneration in order to maintain healthful and youthful function and appearance. Our findings indicate that stem cell pathways involving cell metabolism, DNA ...

Creative Biolabs has developed proprietary procedures for Hi-Affi™ recombinant antibody production, with optimized library construction and screening processes using hybridoma or phage display technology.

This Programme is created as a repository for the Virtual Human Platform for Safety Assessment (VHP4Safety) project.

The recent COVID19 pandemic infection has undisclosed long-standing issues in the translation of drugs from animals to humans or vice-versa. Nearly 75% of emerging human infections worldwide originated from animals; existing drugs for human and animal (H&A) vector-borne diseases (VBD) are scarce, with limited efficacy, toxicity, and finite resources. Emerging environmental problems in pharmaceutical use/manufacturing increase attention in the field. The two drug pipelines are developed ...

NL-BioImaging AM is a distributed research infrastructure aimed at promoting progress in the most cutting edge microscopy technologies and providing open access to these technologies to a broad community of academic and industrial users. All Netherlands bio(medical) microscopy centers participate.

FAIR (Findable Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) data management is a challenge for the optical microscopy community due to a high diversity in participating research fields and methodologies, ...

The Snoep Lab’s core research efforts are in Computational Systems Biology; a combined experimental, modeling and theoretical approach to quantitatively understand the functional behavior of Biological Systems resulting from the characteristics of their components. Our main focus is on metabolism, of human pathogens such as Plasmodium falciparum, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but also of breast cancer cell lines, and on modelling disease states such as glucose homeostatis in type 2 diabetes, and ...

Synthetic Biology and Biosystems Control Lab (SB2CL). We focus our research on applications of systems engineering and control to Systems and Synthetic Biology, and Bioprocesses estimation and control. Our group is member of the Institute for Automatica and Industrial Informatics (ai2) at the Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain).

Our main interests are in:

• Dynamic regulation of gene expression for control of variability in gene expression and regulation of novel routes to obtain complex ...

Background. RB1 is a paradigm gene for heritable cancer. Almost all RB1 mutation-carriers develop retinoblastoma (heritable-Rb-patient) during childhood and many heritable-Rb-survivors develop second primary malignancies (SPMs; notably sarcomas and melanomas) throughout life, which are often fatal. To date, no standard protocols are available for early detection of SPMs. Recently, blood-based cancer tests have opened up encouraging new possibilities for surveillance. We have developed novel ...
