Innovation examples

#MicrobialBatteryRecycling — Microbes can make lithium ion battery recycling more sustainable, more effective and even completely CO₂-neutral.

#BRAINengineeredCas — With our own CRISPR-Cas genome scissors, we meet customer project goals faster and cheaper.

#PlantbasedSweeteners – Our DOLCE R&D program was completed at the end of 2020, and gave rise to two approaches for BRAIN and the food industry.

#SustainableMetalExtraction — Microorganisms from the BRAIN bioarchive extract precious metals from e-waste, ashes, slags and other waste streams in an environmentally friendly way.

#BiologicalWoundManagement — Aurase® is an enzymatic active ingredient developed by BRAIN for the treatment of open wounds. The active mechanism was inspired by the common green bottle fly.

Edible plants provide bioactive compounds that combat harmful organisms. BRAIN’s FRESCO program identifies the best anti-microbial candidates.

Based on unique cell-based assay systems, within its SALT programs BRAIN focusses on the reduction of salt in foods.

In the TRiP²Application programs, BRAIN offers unique cell-based assay systems for the identification of novel ingredients for food & cosmetics. In addition, cell models developed by BRAIN enable the development of biological deodorants and aluminum-free antiperspirants.
