The Austrian Centre of Industrial Biotechnology (ACIB) is an international research institution for industrial biotechnology. Research facilities are located in Graz, Linz, Innsbruck, Tulln and Vienna, with additional research sites in Heidelberg, Bielefeld, Pavia, Rzeszów, Barcelona, Canterbury and Taiwan. The administrative headquarters are located in Graz.
History
ACIB was founded in 2010 and is a COMET Centre (K2) in the funding program COMET – Competence Centers for Excellent Technologies.[2] It was preceded by the Research Centre Applied Biocatalysis in Graz and the Austrian Center of Biopharmaceutical Technology in Vienna.[3]
Research
ACIB conducts research in all fields of industrial biotechnology aiming at environmentally friendly and economic processes for the biotechnological, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Research areas include biotransformation for synthesis, biotechnological material processing, recombinant protein production, metabolic modelling and engineering, modelling of cellular systems and systems biology, enzyme and protein engineering, bioprospecting, continuous integrated manufacturing as well as new materials for bioprocessing and new processes for biopharmaceuticals. Another focus is on the genome information databases for CHO and cell line engineering. The center was largely involved in the DNA sequencing of the genome of the Chinese hamster.[4]
