Department of Biotechnology and Biomedicine or in short "DTU Bioengineering" is a scientific community where all members contribute to teaching and research activities that all aim to meet national and international demands for development of sustainable, environmentally friendly, and competitive processes for use within the areas of biotechnology and biomedicine. The particular strength of DTU Bioengineering is that teaching and research activities originate from the integrated use of expertise in disciplines such as molecular biotechnology, biochemistry, microbiology, chemistry, physics, and chemical techniques. The research at DTU Bioengineering covers both basic and applied areas of relevance for biotechnology and biomedicine. Research activities are carried out by all faculty staff at the department. The research is described in three interwoven areas where most, if not all, scientists have activities that fall under two or even all three of the research areas; Microbiology, Biomedicine and Biotechnology.
