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!

Centre of Digital Life Norway

The Centre for Digital Life Norway is a national centre for biotechnology education, research, and innovation. It is run as a collaborative project by the University of Oslo, University of Bergen, and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, supported by the Norwegian Research Council. The activities at the centre is organised in a governance and networking project, which includes a graduate school, and several research projects. The centre facilitates transdisciplinary cooperation across institutions and fields of research, and between projects. The host institutions of the research projects at the centre constitute the hub- and node-structure of the network. Thank you for your generous support!

Vectron Biosolutions

Vectron Biosolutions was founded in 2008 as a result of more than 15 years of research in Professor Svein Valla's research group at the Department of Biotechnology here at NTNU in Trondheim. Professor Svein Valla is a world-leading expert on gene expression in bacteria and vector technology with more than 100 publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals. His research has resulted in a novel technology platform for production of recombinant proteins that can be used for higher protein production levels at lower costs and increased solubility. We are grateful for your support!
