Novo Nordisk Fonden: CHALLENGE – Heterogeneity in biomanufacturing

The challenge is to understand the impact of heterogeneity in biomanufacturing and develop novel approaches for detection, control, and mitigation throughout both upstream and downstream processing. Research must aim to enhance process performance with an emphasis on increasing yield, titre, purity, and productivity, and enable economically viable scaling of disruptive solutions that minimize environmental footprints, save energy, and conserve natural resources. The programme is aimed at fundamental and applied research that merges synthetic biology, microbiology, process engineering, and analytical or digital methodologies to gain insight and develop tools or methods with potential for broad applicability. Research must aim to integrate techno-economic analysis and environmental sustainability impact assessment when relevant.

Nøgleord

  • Development of Danish research ecosystems
  • Focusing on heterogeneity in biomanufacturing
  • Supporting excellent research leaders
The Challenge Programme supports excellent research leaders from 2-4 research groups (main applicant plus 1-3 co-applicants). The programme leader must be at least 75% employed at a Danish university, hospital or other non-profit research organisation, that will be considered the host institution of the project. The research institutions of the co-applicants can be located in Denmark or abroad. The co-applicants should contribute significantly to the advancement of the project and should receive part of the funding. Industry collaboration is possible; however, funding cannot be awarded to industrial partner(s).
