Food bioscience, Biotechnology and Biophysics

Bioscience is a diverse area of research and industry with a common thread – using expertise to establish biological solutions that support, restore and enhance the quality of life of humans, plants and animals in our environment. From life-saving treatments and procedures to nutritious food and cutting-edge research, community benefits from improved quality of life by bioscience.

Food biotechnology is the application of advanced biotechnological techniques to food production and processing. Food fermentation, which is the oldest biotechnological method, and food additives, as well as plant and animal cell cultures, are included. New and, advanced research on fermentations, and enzyme science,  genetic engineering, protein engineering, bioengineering and processing.

Biophysics is a discipline that uses physics theories and methods to explain how biological processes function.
