The research activities sit at the nexus of Metabolic/Pathway Engineering, Bioprocessing and Waste Valorisation.
Who is this for?
In the era of sustainable manufacturing and bio-based economies, specialised training in Metabolic/Pathway Engineering, Bioprocessing, and Waste Valorisation is essential to developing the workforce that will drive the next generation of advanced biomanufacturing. These process-driven disciplines underpin the transformation of biological systems into scalable cell factories, enabling the production of high-value chemicals, sustainable materials, and therapeutic products. Through a manufacturing lens, this field has the potential to circularise agricultural, industrial, and municipal waste streams into valuable commodities including bioplastics, and biochemcials strengthening the transition towards circular economy models, zero-waste production, and climate-neutral manufacturing. By embedding process integration, optimisation, and scale-up expertise, comprehensive training ensures that professionals are equipped to design and operate resilient, sustainable, and commercially viable manufacturing systems. This aligns with key policy agendas, including the EU Circular Economy Action Plan, UN SDGs, Net Zero targets, and National Bioeconomy Strategies, ensuring manufacturing solutions are both sustainable and commercially viable. By fostering these competencies, the manufacturing workforce will be empowered to deliver integrated, sustainable, and policy-aligned solutions across the chemical and healthcare sectors.
Why the Magan Centre of Applied Mycology (MCAM) at 成人直播?

About the training
A bespoke training offering refers to a customized, tailored training program designed to meet the specific needs of a target audience, be it students, researchers, industry professionals, or policymakers—within a particular research area. The current research includes production of various bio-based products like xylitol, 2,3-butanediol, itaconic, lactic and succinic acid from waste streams like sugarcane bagasse, brewer's spent grains, crude glycerol, unconsumed food, bread & bakery waste etc using preferably GRAS (generally regarded as safe) microbes. In the context of Metabolic/Pathway Engineering, Bioprocessing, and Waste Valorisation, bespoke training ensures that the content, delivery method, and skill focus are directly aligned with the current challenges, tools, and innovations in the field.
- Courses can be adapted to focus on specific topics such as genome editing, bioreactor design, microbial strain optimization, fermentation technology and/or valorisation technologies.
- Learning from real-world examples of waste-to-value technologies, bioproduct development, and process optimization.
- Integrating biology, chemical engineering, and environmental science to reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the field.
- Opportunities to work closely with researchers, industry partners, and policy stakeholders to apply knowledge in meaningful contexts.
- Supporting sustainability goals by equipping professionals with the skills to design low-carbon, circular, and resource-efficient processes.
