We cordially invite you to the BITZ OPEN - our Innovation Forum at BITZ Oberschneiding - on Thursday, 26 September 2024, at 6:00 PM!

Prof. Dr. Jeff Wilkesmann, Scientific Director of the Transformation Lab at the Bavarian Innovation Transformation Centre (BITZ) Oberschneiding, will speak on the topic:

Bioengineering Spider Silk - Overcoming Challenges to Successfully Bring Products to Market

In addition to his role as Scientific Director of the BITZ Transformation Lab, Jeff Wilkesmann is a Professor of Bioengineering - Application, Industrialization, and Scaling at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology (DIT).

Bioengineering involves applying engineering and natural science principles to tissues, cells, and molecules. Its applications are broad, encompassing healthcare, agriculture, and the environment. In his research, Jeff Wilkesmann has primarily focused on enzymes and biocatalysis, examining, for example, the impact of microplastics on our health.

In the new Transformation Lab, innovations from the megatrend of "Sustainable Technology" are tested for implementation with interdisciplinary, specialized experimental setups, such as in the production of synthetic proteins, and standardized into industrializable products.

Programme 6:00 PM - Lecture
7:00 PM - Time for Questions & Discussions

For those interested, Prof. Dr. Jeff Wilkesmann and Dr. Richard Janissen will offer a tour of the BITZ Transformation Lab, which will be officially inaugurated on 30 September 2024.

Our BITZ OPEN takes place in odd-numbered months at BITZ Oberschneiding, Straubinger St. 19, 94363 Oberschneiding.
