Austrian Centre of Industrial Biotechnology (acib)

Who We Are :
The Austrian Centre of Industrial Biotechnology (acib) is bridging the gap between science and industry and connects about 200 partners in the field of industrial biotechnology. The international competence centre is located in Austria (Graz, Linz, Innsbruck, Tulln, Vienna) with additional locations in Germany (Heidelberg, Bielefeld, Hamburg), Italy (Pavia), Poland (Rzeszów), Spain (Barcelona), and Taiwan.

As well A-B as ACBT can look back at very successful work during the past years. The scientific orientation of the research work led to about 500 scientific publications, the application-oriented one to about 20 patents and patent applications. ACBT succeeded in the development of new technologies for a more efficient production of recombinant pharma-proteins with bacterial and mammalian cell expression systems. Five processes for industrial biocatalytic production developed by A-B have already been implemented by our industrial partners up to multi-ton scale.
