The Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts Process Development Unit (ABPDU) is helping catalyze a new era of manufacturing: using biology to produce innovative materials, fuels, foods, and more. The ABPDU provides the technical resources, equipment, and expertise needed to take bench-scale discoveries all the way to market readiness. Listen to this podcast to learn more about the ABPDU’s collaborations across industry and academia. 

Featuring: 

Deepti Tanjore, director of the ABPDU and head of the Process Engineering & Analytics department. Her research investigates how bioprocess conditions affect the health and efficiency of microbes inside bioreactors. Tanjore’s team is developing modeling methods to predict ideal conditions for different species, as well as integrated sensing tools for real-time monitoring of cultures, allowing researchers to adapt bioreactor parameters as needed.
