🌱 When Chemistry meets Biology On November 25th, researchers from CESAM, CICECO, and LAQV-REQUIMTE gathered to discuss the (eco)toxicity of biodegradable polymers and nanomaterials. João Tedim, CICECO researcher, remarked: "To develop environmentally friendly technologies, we must bring together the materials expertise within CICECO and the capacity to evaluate their potential impact in the environment, which is available in CESAM. It’s not a forced pursuit but a natural progression to address these issues.” More: https://swki.me/igsJGMsv 💡 Together for a greener future! 🌍 #Sustainability #Science #Innovation #CESAM #CICECO

VTT is proud to launch two bioeconomy projects as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF)' Global Centers program, where Finland is the only EU country selected 🔬👏 🌱 In collaboration with top research organisations from five countries, we’re developing solutions that support a climate-neutral future. 🌱 VTT’s projects use biotechnology to create sustainable solutions: Biofoundry focuses on replacing fossil-based materials with bio-based alternatives, while FoodID aims to improve environmentally friendly food production through innovations in cellular agriculture, including fermentation, and plant-based foods. 🌱 “Our role is to bring Finnish industrial biotechnology and bioprocess expertise and technology to the program. VTT's ability to scale technology from the laboratory to a pilot environment is a valuable advantage enabling us to develop the industrialisation of bioprocesses,” says VTT’s Tua Huomo.

Accelerating the tech-driven bioeconomy - a must read insight report from the World Economic Forum! A very exciting read and very well aligned to Scion mission, vision and strategy - around creating a prosperous future through transitioning to a circular bioeconomy. Many exciting trends and perspectives like: 📌 Converging technologies and sectors - silo thinking will not allow us to tackle the challenges and opportunities going forward 📌 The future of the bioeconomy will be shaped by a core set of convergent, technology-driven approaches 📌 The bioeconomy is poised to impact every aspect of daily life 📌 Positioning bio-solutions as central to global challenges 📌 Investment priorities: Demand vs. funding - Streamlining technology transfer remains a barrier 📌 Delivering bio-solutions in response to growing demand requires value-chain transformation and efficient transition from the laboratory to commercial scale. 📌 A complex value chain and ecosystem underpins the bioeconomy 📌 Unblocking the system through regulation and policy - Streamlined infrastructure can accelerate the bioeconomy The tech-driven bioeconomy is here, and it is poised to tackle not just one but many of humanity’s greatest challenges through the convergence of underpinning technologies that will realize increasingly impactful biosolutions What do opportunities in New Zealand look like?

Today in BioMACS Review, we explore Environmental Biotechnology and Its Impact on Human Health and Society 🌍 Harnessing Environmental Biotechnology for a Healthier Future 🌍 🔬 Environmental biotechnology is revolutionizing the way we approach health and sustainability. By leveraging natural processes, we can address critical environmental issues while promoting human health and societal well-being. 💡 Key Applications: Pollution Control: Utilizing bioremediation to clean up contaminated environments, reducing health risks associated with pollutants. Waste Management: Developing sustainable waste treatment methods that minimize environmental impact and protect public health. Resource Recovery: Transforming waste into valuable resources, such as biofuels and bioplastics, contributing to a circular economy. 🌱 Our Commitment: At the Biomedical & Applied Clinical Sciences Research Centre, we are dedicated to advancing research in environmental biotechnology. Our goal is to develop innovative solutions that enhance both environmental and human health. 📊 Stay Tuned: Follow our updates as we explore the latest advancements in environmental biotechnology and their applications to human health and society. #EnvironmentalBiotechnology #HumanHealth #Sustainability #BioRemediation #CircularEconomy #EcoInnovation Woxsen University Raul Villamarin Rodriguez Daya Shankar Tiwari vishal anand Dr Srikar Thota Bikram Bikash Das Dr. Shouvik C.
