We study and develop biotechnologies for the sustainable production of advanced biofuels, biochemicals and agricultural solutions, focusing on the full use of lignocellulosic biomass and other agro-industrial residues. We aim to make the energy, industrial and agricultural sectors more sustainable and to strengthen the bioeconomy in Brazil. Our scientific programs combine expertise in lignocellulosic biomass chemistry, genetic engineering, metabolic engineering, enzyme engineering and bioprocess development, organized into four strategic fronts.<\/p>\n
