Program details
Overview
The Master's program in Applied Microbial Engineering trains researchers and senior engineers in biotechnology, covering microbial function and bioengineering. Research spans bioremediation of polluted environments, the production of valuable substances from biomass, enzyme biochemistry, and physiologically active compounds for food and medicine. Laboratories include containment facilities for gene manipulation and equipment for high-level microbial culture.
The food biology group works on fermentation and brewing, functional food ingredients and the development of new foods. Research is carried out with partners in the food, fermentation, pharmaceutical, environmental and chemical industries. The program aims to train engineers who can apply systematic biotechnology knowledge in industry. Research equipment includes electron microscopes, automated bacterial testing instruments and protein sequencers. Students also develop skills in enzyme biochemistry through fundamental research in these laboratories.
