Center for Research, Education and Consultancy in Microbiology, Genetics & Biotehnology

MICROBIOME & PROBIOTICS

Our expert R&D team in microbial genetics focuses on developing and testing probiotic products, identifying microbes, understanding microbiome diversity, and analyzing interactions between probiotic and pathogenic strains, as well as metabolomic responses to food additives.

BIOREMEDIATION

lThe research team focuses on microorganisms with xenodegradative potential, leading studies on genetically enhancing microorganisms for biotechnological applications.

They work on constructing shuttle vectors for microbes used in bio-industrial processes and improving microbial strains through molecular cloning techniques.

BIOTECHNOLOGY & GENETICS OF YEASTS

Our experienced team specializes in developing microbial biotechnologies using non-conventional yeasts to enhance industrial processes. We focus on creating yeast with:

  • Biodegradative potential for pollutant breakdown and conversion into useful compounds.
  • Biocontrol applications for antifungal agents in agriculture.
  • Biomedical relevance, selecting yeasts with probiotic potential and antimicrobial activity.
  • Agro-food interest, studying yeast resistance under industrial stress conditions.

EPIGENETICS & CHROMATIN DYNAMICS

The research team is dedicated to unraveling the epigenetic mechanisms that regulate gene expression and chromatin organization.

Our lab aims to uncover fundamental insights into the epigenetic foundations of cellular differentiation and disease. By mapping the regulatory networks that control gene expression, we seek to enhance our understanding of human health and pave the way for innovative therapeutic strategies.

ANTIMICROBIAL STRATEGIES

The research team specializes in Medical and Applied Microbiology, focusing on antimicrobial strategies. They develop and optimize protocols for testing the antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activity of nanomaterials. Their work includes studying nanoparticle interactions with cells, creating biocompatible materials with enhanced antimicrobial properties, and collaborating globally to develop nanomaterials for biomedical and industrial use. They also patented models for studying biofilms and their susceptibility to various substances.
