Description

Description

The Institute of Systems Biotechnology (Director: Prof. Dr. Christoph Wittmann) stands for excellent research at the interface of biotechnology, systems biology, and sustainable resource utilization. We conduct research in the field of sustainable bioeconomy, focusing on the development of innovative microbial production systems based on renewable raw materials. Our goal is to establish new bio-based value chains through systems biology, metabolic engineering, and fermentation technology, contributing to the transformation towards a circular bioeconomy.

In the field of health biotechnology, we develop microbial biofactories that serve as platforms for the production of biopharmaceuticals, therapeutics, or novel agents for personalized medicine.

In both of these research areas, we are each seeking a dedicated PhD student (f/m/d) for the development of innovative microbial cell factories.
