Strategic Focus
The Microbial Bioprocesses Group — Biomicro — is oriented towards training in research and generating new fundamental and applied knowledge through the use of microorganisms with potential application in processes involved in both the industry and the environment. Our projects aim to design, assess, and implement innovative strategies as an alternative solution to various pollution and waste management problems.
Research Areas and Topics
- Bioprospecting: search for microorganisms of industrial value.
- Bioremediation of polluted environments.
- Assessment and improvement of water quality.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
