Novel enrichment materials and facility design to improve the welfare of pigs in commercial production systems in Ireland
The Irish pig industry is a highly homogeneous sector, with most pigs produced indoors in fully slatted systems. Although pork can be produced extremely efficiently in this way, there are growing moves towards adoption of systems which better meet pigs’ needs. Read more
Talent4BBI PhD 11 - Increasing the efficiency of downstream processes that valorise dairy side streams
Increasing the efficiency of downstream processes that valorise dairy side streams. Optimising valorisation technologies that process side streams is of critical importance to maximise outputs, profitability of biobased processes and to minimise residues arising from these valorisation technologies. Read more
Talent4BBI PhD 10 - Fungal fermentation process development
Fungal fermentation process development. This project aims to create a next generation of mushroom-based ingredients, a number of which are currently produced using solid state fermentation. Read more
Talent4BBI PhD 9 - How to affect change on farms for the benefit of farmers, their communities and the environment through the use of emerging knowledge and tools of the modern bioeconomy.
How to affect change on farms for the benefit of farmers, their communities and the environment through the use of emerging knowledge and tools of the modern bioeconomy. Read more
Talent4BBI PhD 8 - Novel catalytic routes towards carbon efficient lignocellulose biorefineries
Novel catalytic routes towards carbon efficient lignocellulose biorefineries. The aim of this project is to investigate and validate ways to improve the ‘sustainability’ of a reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) based process & value chain, using sustainability in its broadest interpretation, i.e. Read more
Talent4BBI PhD7 - Enzyme development for sustainable production of pharmaceutical ingredients.
Enzyme development for sustainable production of pharmaceutical ingredients. The University of Groningen (UG) group will identify and redesign amide-bond formation enzymes using in-house developed computational design protocols. Read more
Talent4BBI PhD 6 - Fermentative lactate production from lignocellulosic feedstocks by a thermophilic microorganism
This project will focus on lactic acid production from C5 and C6 sugars using a thermophilic microorganism. Corbion has developed a lactate-producing thermophilic strain capable of fermenting both C5 and C6 sugars from lignocellulosic biomass. Read more
Talent4BBI - PhD 5 - Production of lactic acid by a yeast-like fungus
This project will explore a yeast-like fungus, as a novel host for production of lactic acid. Read more
Talent4BBI - PhD 4 -Transition to a biobased economy: prospective LCA as a tool for critical guidance in technology development
Transition to a biobased economy. prospective LCA as a tool for critical guidance in technology development. The fine chemicals industry is actively looking into how to reduce the environmental impacts of its activities. Read more
Talent4BBI PhD 3 - Development of bioprocesses for the bioeconomy using continuous manufacturing
The project aims to develop the tools and technologies to accelerate the deployment of continuous bioprocessing in biorefineries, or other biotechnological industries and the bioeconomy more broadly. Read more
Talent4BBI - PhD 2 -Development of new lignocellulosic biomass valorisation processes to supply the petrochemical industry with sustainable carbon.
Lignocellulosic biomass (wood and agricultural wastes) is an important source of sustainable carbon and will play an central role in the upcoming transition away from fossil resources. Read more
Talent4BBI PhD 1 - Yeast bioprocess development using systems and synthetic biology
Yeast bioprocess development using systems and synthetic biology. This project aims to develop yeast strains, which will be endowed with the ability to convert low value feedstocks into protein rich biomass. Read more
Capturing signals in biodiversity data across scales in space and time
Project description: . Real time data can be challenging to analyse and interpret as it can be highly variable (noisy), multivariate, zero-inflated and complex in structures over space and time. Read more
