"Why make it yourself if a bug can make it for you"​ At InBio.be, a diverse team of researchers strives to transform microbial strains into cell factories, as such enabling the transition towards a biobased economy. Tool-, strain- and process development are combined for the production of biosurfactants, iminosugars and carbon neutral chemicals. We have been active in the field of biotechnology for over 15 years, amongst others resulting in the founding of the spin off companies Inbiose and AmphiStar. Moreover, InBio.be's close collaboration with the Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant in several research projects, enables to bring cutting edge technologies to the next level, through process development and scale up.
