How we are advancing bioprocessing research
Our innovative approach will greatly reduce the time and expense currently wasted on developing bioprocesses that would never be industrially applicable.
Centre for Integrated Bioprocessing Research
Our research focuses on all parts of the bioprocess from fundamental biology to industrial scale-up, addressing challenges in food, sustainability and health.
What we do
Our central focus is scaled-up processing, technoeconomic assessment and industrial applicability during the discovery process. We work with a range of industrial partners, de-risking the development of novel bioproducts.

Developing an alternative to palm oil from waste resources, using yeast
We're using energy-efficient microwaves and unique fermentation processes to develop a palm oil substitute from lignocellulosic waste.
About us
Our Centre for Integrated Bioprocessing Research (CIBR) takes a new approach to industrial biotechnology research. We put the suitability of an industrial process at the heart of the discovery process. We draw together academics working across the total industrial biotechnology process from discovery to industrial application, addressing global challenges in tissue engineering, biofuels, bioenergy, bioproducts, biocatalysis and pharmaceutical development.
