SilicoLife

Braga, Portugal

Accelerates strain and bioprocess optimization in Industrial Biotechnology by the use of proprietary computational and modelling tools, which maximize productivity in bioprocesses, as compared to previous approaches based on trial-and-error and random mutagenesis techniques which are time-consuming and difficult to reproduce. Novel molecular biology techniques, coupled with post-genomic modelling approaches now allow the rational design of robust microbial strains for the production of desired compounds. SilicoLife provides expertise in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology to manipulate large amounts of data, using dedicated models, robust algorithms and user-friendly software tools to accelerate strain design and bioprocess optimization, shortening the time to market of new biotechnology-based products. For a great variety of microorganisms and products, SilicoLife can offer ready-to-use solutions in the form of molecular targets that optimize yield and productivities or dedicated user-friendly software tools to be internally adopted by the companies to achieve their own results.
