Centre of Expertise

HAN BioCentre

We conduct practice-oriented research together with students, aimed at responsible and smart use of the living nature. We work closely with companies that support the same ambition.

Our research focuses, for example, on the production of biobased raw materials based on fermentation, the development of separation methods for full use of residual flows from agriculture and horticulture, the development of new medicines by adapting substances obtained from plants, the development of alternative test methods to replace animal experiments or on the design of methods and software that can make use the enormous amount of available (genetic) data.

Research themes

Within HAN BioCentre we focus our research on three main themes, namely: Biobased Research, Bio-information|Data Science and Drug Discovery. We fill in these themes through a number of specific research lines

Collaboration

We work with partners in various ways: through contract research, a joint subsidy project, a tailor-made course, or through facility sharing.

We will gladly discuss the research options at the HAN BioCentre. Students can join us through an internship, a minor project or a graduation project.
