Introduction
The department of Biotechnology concentrates on the multidisciplinary fields of Biocatalysis, Metabolic Engineering & Fermentation Technology, Environmental Biotechnology and Bioprocess Technology as well as the exciting developments in the area of Life Science & Technology - in particular, genomics and metabolomics.
Biotechnology research activities consist of the following research groups:
- Analytical Biotechnology
- Biocatalysis and Organic Chemistry
- Bioprocess Technology
- Bioseparation Technology
- Environmental Biotechnology
- Enzymology
- Industrial Microbiology
- Complex Fluids Theory
- Biotechnology and Society
Intensive collaboration with industry and other national research groups has led to the establishment of two national research centres, both coordinated by the Department of Biotechnology:
- The Kluyver Centre for Genomics of Industrial Fermentation
- Bio-based, Ecologically Balanced Sustainable Industrial Chemistry (BE-Basic), building on Bio-based Sustainable Industrial Chemistry (B-BASIC)
The department is home to the accredited Graduate Research School Biotechnological Sciences Delft Leiden (BSDL) which organizes annual, International Advanced Courses for PhD and postgraduate training.
