Join us as we turn our attention to the exceptional work of our PhD students at InBio.be. Today, we're proud to feature Nicolas de Fooz, a dedicated contributor to our research endeavors, exploring new avenues for Biosurfactants.
Near all consumer products are derived from petrochemical sources, whether these are textiles, packaging materials, construction, car parts, paints and inks, pipes and oils, or perhaps surprisingly medications and skincare products such as shampoos, and lotions. Nevertheless, for many of these applications bio-based alternatives are being developed and adopted, replacing their fossil-based counterparts.
A geek by heart and brain, Nicolas leverages the ‘magic’ of biotechnology and millions of microbes to deliver more sustainable alternatives to soap. In his PhD, Nicolas is finetuning the production process of sophorolipids towards multiple-fold increases for new biosurfactants, enabling their market adoption 🛠️. To understand the delicate intricacies of sophorolipid fermentation processes and improve the overall efficiency, Nicolas created advanced metabolomics processing pipelines💡. To this end, he is developing an R-package for improved data-analyses of non-chromatographic MS data.
