Our research

Our research stretches from the fundamental characterization of biological processes at a molecular level to studies of how organisms function, evolve and interact with each other and their environments at an eco-system level.

 


A deepened understanding of how different organisms, biological and chemical processes and ecosystems function contributes to the production of beneficial and functional foods, improved production of biogas and bioethanol, the development of biological pesticides, probiotics and drugs, improved strategies for the management of plant pathogens as well as advances in plant breeding, bioencapsulation and formulation.
