Welcome to BioEcoTech Research Cluster
We engage in algae bioprospecting, starting from sample collection of indigenous algal strains, followed by their isolation, identification, and characterization to select elite strains for industrial and environmental applications.
We develop multiproduct biorefinery routes for biotransformation of algae biomass to bioproducts including bioplastics, biofertilizers/biostimulants, alternative nutrition media and industrial enzymes.
Developing algae-based carbon-neutral processes for resource recovery/recycling, resource conservation, and rehabilitation of degraded/poor soils.
We focus on harnessing algae species for food, feed, and functional foods to cope with climate change triggered food security challenges.
We develop and optimize process for producing low-cost plant/algae biomass for clean energy via thermochemical & biological process, while keeping the water-energy-environment-food nexus sustainable
