Episode Synopsis

As bioprocesses move from lab environments to larger industrial scales, productivity often decreases due to insufficient understanding of variations within microbial populations. What are the main challenges posed by this issue, and how can they be overcome?
In this episode, we unravel the mechanisms behind population heterogeneity with Prof. Dr. Andreas Kremling from TU Munich and Prof. Dr. Anna Lena Heins from TUHH. They share their mission to bridge the gap between fundamental insights and practical applications in bioprocess development, aiming to optimize the cultivation of microorganisms at an industrial scale.
InterZell, funded by the DFG as a priority program (SPP 2170), focuses on cell-cell and cell-bioreactor interactions, bridging biological research with engineering principles in modern biochemical engineering. For more information, visit https://www.spp2170.uni-stuttgart.de/
