Biotechnology, including industrial biotechnology, is one of the most innovative and rapidly developing industries today. This industry helps people's well-being, medication, food, and a healthy environment.
Our goal is the use, application and further development of the unique research laboratory network established in modern, industrial biotechnology. The units to be included in the planned "Industrial Biotechnology Excellent Research Infrastructure" cooperation complement each other synergistically. Organizationally, they are part of the University of Debrecen. The Infrastructure brings together certain units of three university faculties (Faculty of Science and Technology; Faculty of Medicine; Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences and Environmental Management).
The laboratory complex has a unique research and service equipment park and capacity, which promotes international, professional scientific and industrial collaborations. We also have laboratory and pilot-scale breeding capacity for prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms in R&D and GMP systems. We have designed the necessary large-instrument lab suitable for the analysis of genetic, molecular biotechnology, food industry, and organic and inorganic components.
We want to develop our already excellent resources and capacity in such a way that with the planned infrastructure complex we can carry out full-scale innovative work in all areas of industrial biotechnology:
- food industry biotechnology: foods - (e.g. beer and spirits industry), nutritional supplements
- environmental biotechnology
- classical industrial biotechnology (enzymes, etc.)
- health biotechnology (food supplements, proteins, antibodies, vaccines, phage preparations).
