We drive advanced biotechnological solutions for the development of innovative ingredients, processes and products that add value to the food, health, aquaculture and environmental sectors. By harnessing the potential of microorganisms, enzymes, phages and biomolecules from marine sources or underutilised food resources, we design safer, more sustainable and competitive alternatives that address the current challenges facing industry and society.
We explore marine resources as a source of bioproducts and biomolecules with applications in health, food and innovative materials. This includes the development of biopolymers and enzymes of biotechnological interest, strengthening the generation of functional compounds from marine organisms and their active biomolecules.
We apply biotechnology to transform the food sector, from new ingredients obtained through microalgae, fungi and fermentation processes to biocontrol solutions based on microorganisms and phages. We develop bioproduction technologies and biosensors that enhance food safety, quality and sustainability.
