It has experimental farms, food pilot plants, authorized seed and GMO activities, and strong expertise in by-product valorisation, process optimisation, digitalisation and knowledge transfer.
- QUE OFRECEMOS:
CTAEX has established research capacities based on a holistic systems perspective to study microbiomes and their interactions with hosts and environments, with a strong focus on sustainable and resilient agri-food systems aligned with the One Health approach. It investigates microbiome structure and function using targeted molecular tools, including PCR and gene expression analyses, and provides reference strains, protocols and quality control for biobanking and data sharing. This expertise is demonstrated through projects such as NEOBIOFERT, FermentaVeg_4GUT, BIOFERCANN and NEWCOTIANA.
