Biotechnology 

Welcome to the Department of Biotechnology.

Head of the department
prof.dr. J.H. de Winde

Introduction
The department of Biotechnology concentrates on the multidisciplinary fields of Biocatalysis, Metabolic Engineering & Fermentation Technology, Environmental Biotechnology and Bioprocess Technology as well as the exciting developments in the area of Life Science & Technology - in particular, genomics and metabolomics.

Biotechnology research activities consist of the following research groups:

• Analytical Biotechnology
• Biocatalysis and Organic Chemistry
• Bioprocess Technology
• Bioseparation Technology
• Environmental Biotechnology
• Enzymology
• Industrial Microbiology
• Complex Fluids Theory
• Biotechnology and Society

Intensive collaboration with industry and other national research groups has led to the establishment of two national research centres, both coordinated by the Department of Biotechnology:

• The Kluyver Centre for Genomics of Industrial Fermentation
• Bio-based Sustainable Industrial Chemistry (B-BASIC)

The department is home to the accredited Graduate Research School Biotechnological Sciences Delft Leiden (BSDL) which organizes annual, International Advanced Courses for PhD and postgraduate training.
