Organisation type:
Research institutions
University
Research organisations
Country:
Latvia
Short name:
IMBUL
Description:
The Institute of Microbiology and Biotechnology, UL, is a multi-disciplinary group of researchers that uses mathematical modelling to find the way how interactions of components form a biological or environmental system.
WE ARE INTERESTED in agricultural emissions, food waste, food supply chain, microbial biotechnology, circular economy, bio-based products, industrial symbiosis, eco-design and eco-innovations.
WE CAN OFFER:
1) modelling and assessment of environmental and industrial systems:
- system dynamics modelling with long-term forecasts,
- life cycle and sustainability assessment of products and processes,
- greenhouse gas emission modelling,
- assessment and optimization of socio-technical systems (e.g. waste management system, agri-food system)
- building of integrated large-scale and small-scale models, and
- software development.
2) modelling and optimization of cellular processes of microorganisms and microbial communities:
- stoichiometric and kinetic modelling and optimization of microbial metabolism,
- metabolic reconstructions,
- metabolic engineering
- modelling of cellular signalling networks,
- modelling of microbial communities, and
- software development.
WE LOOK FOR A CONSORTIUM that seeks expertise in system’s computational modelling to assess the optimisation potential and effects of changes made to the system.
