DEPARTMENT OF BIOTECHNOLOGY AND FOOD SCIENCE
The Department of Biotechnology and Food Science is one of eight departments at the Faculty of
Natural Sciences. Researchers at NTNU's Department of Biotechnology and Food Science study both
basic questions as well as problems with practical applications. One of their main focuses is finding
new applications for national marine resources, as exemplified by advanced biotechnological
applications of alginate from seaweeds/bacteria, chitin/chitosan from crustaceans and fish gelatine.
At the department, they are also working on isolating new marine microorganisms that can produce
medicines and other valuable substances, and they employ gene technology and modern analytical
methods to understand and optimize processes in bacteria. The department helped us by covering
our expenses for rental of the laboratory, and gave us access to various lab equipment and
chemicals. For this we are grateful – Thank you so much!
