Analytical Science & Technology (Bioprocess Data Integration)

Digitalising biomanufacturing - from cell-level mechanisms to industrial plants - for better bioprocesses

The Bioprocess Data Integration group creates computational and data-driven methods and frameworks to digitalise the process development for biomanufacturing processes. By developing and applying a variety of modelling approaches, we aim to better understand biological mechanisms across a wide spectrum of scales. Hence, our work accelerates decision-making and translation, enabling the faster, smarter, and cost-effective development of innovative biotherapeutics.

Focus Areas

  • Computational metabolic modelling
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP)
  • Scientific software development
  • Immune cell manufacturing modelling
  • Process Modelling and Techno-Economic Analysis (TEA)
