Sustainability powered by microbes

Diving into biotechnological systems for a greener world

Studying and exploiting microbiomes relationships

Unravelling complexity at all levels

We applied a multidisciplinary approach including metabolic modelling, systems and synthetic biology to study bacterial metabolism from cellular to population level. Our final goal is to create a biological framework that allows the development of a broad range of novel and non-intuitive biotechnological processes, such as bioremediation solutions and sustainable production alternatives.

BUILDING METABOLIC MODELS WITH WIDER CAPABILITIES

We incorporate novel components in our microbial models in order to broaden their applicability in new processes.

DISENTANGLING MICROBIAL METABOLIC CYCLES

Our goal is to decipher and learn how to biotechnologically exploit the multiple competing microbial objectives, such as growth, robustness, and adaptability.

STUDYING MICROBIOME-WIDE RELATIONSHIPS

By comparing the interactions and capabilities between microorganisms, we aim to unlock novel supracellular functions and applications.

BROADENING APPLICATIONS USING AI AND AUTOMATION

We work on the development of a platform for the automatic and computer-assisted construction of new-to-nature microbial metabolic pathways.
