Department of Analitical Biotechnology

Main research directions of the Department include:

• The homeostasis of some transient biometals and metalloids (chromium, selenium) in yeasts, study of the mechanisms of chromate reductive detoxification and formation of elemental Se by yeast cells.

• The research scope are microbial enzymology and bioanalytics.

• The selection and genetic construction of the microbial strains over-producing enzymes with analytical interest.

• The purification and characterization of the novel and recombinant proteins.

• The development of enzymatic and biosensorsʼ approaches for assay of practically important analytes.

• Nanobiotechnology approaches in analytical biotechnology.

• Synthesis and effective application in biosensing and bioanalytical purposes of nanozymes - artificial enzymes based on nanomaterials that have catalytic activity.

• Design of microbial enzyme-nanozyme fuel cells.

Access is possible to prior by the administration or the designated departmental representatives
