Présentation
Still working with Plant Biochemistry, and Biotechnology.
Our research is focused on understanding the biochemistry of terpenoids, especially smaller volatile terpenoids that are used for commercial products like perfumes and drugs. We also aim at generating novel plants (e.g. mosses) to produce these compounds at large scale. Our engineering efforts will employ techniques from the fields of synthetic biology, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Get in touch if you want to work or collaborate with us.
The work on mosses led to the establishment of Mosspiration Biotech ApS, and later Patch Botanics. Both are now closed, but the path was good. Lately, we have started a new company Tailwind Biotech that commercialises a patent on the use of machine learning to design DNA.
