Research facilities, infrastructure and equipment:
The R&D departments at Chr. Hansen have extensive expertise in the physiology of microbes, and in particular of Lactic Acid Bacteria, using this knowledge for guided strain improvement. Technological platforms for genomics, transcriptomics and metabolite profiling of microbes are available, as well as state-of-the art tools for genetic manipulation. Ingenious non-GMO approaches to generate bacterial strains with improved functionalities for commercial applications are used on a daily basis. State of the art screening laboratory with liquid handling robot, spectrophotometers and a high throughput flow cytometer. The R&D activities will be supported by Chr. Hansen Innovation and Commercial Development organizations.
