The advancement of biosensors, microfluidics, assay formats, lab-on-a-chip technologies now enable quantifiable results, at the same cost as rapid tests. Modern POC testing thus facilitates decision-making processes and enables tailored therapy, tailored to specific patient findings. Consequently, better diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of diseases can be ensured. The innovative technology combines microfluidics, miniaturized optoelectronics and automation to provide simple and accurate results in the field, just like in the laboratory. Up to 8 different analytes such as bacteria, viruses and other biomarkers can be determined in less than 10 minutes from just one sample.

Predicting novel enzymes for sustainable, green and resource-efficient products and processes for industrial and pharmaceutical applications is one of the key challenges of modern biotechnology. As a fully digital laboratory, we use data mining, algorithms and artificial intelligence to identify enzymes for existing or upcoming biocatalytic industrial processes. A unique enzyme search engine is used to enable breakthrough enzyme discoveries.

Here, bioinformatics serves as a link between life sciences and computer sciences. Bioinformatics develops algorithms and programs that simulate biochemical processes and analyze molecular biological data. Supplemented by artificial intelligence and machine learning, it makes a decisive contribution to understanding molecular biological processes in an organism and using these findings for the future of industrial development and production.
