Microbiome Engineering
Specialization: Microbiome Engineering:
- Microbiome engineers contribute to the transition towards a sustainable society by intelligent interferrence with biological systems within health, biomanufacturing, and environmental ecology.
- Within this specialization, you will obtain competences in analysis, modeling, and altering the regulatory and competitive interactions between cells in cultures, consortia or microbial-host interactions.
- Focus areas include optimization of cellular interactions using techniques and knowledge from systems biology, microbial physiology, regulatory networks, ecology, genetics, natural product chemistry, probiotics, microbial pathogenecity, consortia, biofilm performance, biocontrol, adaptive evolution, and immunology.
Recomended prequisites for the specialization (to be completed during the bachelor education):
- Experimental microbiology (exemplified by the DTU course: 27027 Experimental Molecular Microbiology)
- General microbiology (exemplified by the DTU course: 27051 Applied biodiversity)
- Bioinformatics (exemplified by the DTU course: 22111 Introduction to Bioinformatics)
