I am currently seeking opportunities to join an emerging consortium focused on the production of food-grade lipids from algal biomass.

I bring strong expertise in novel biorefinery concepts, integrating upstream algal cultivation with advanced downstream processing to enable the sustainable production of innovative food lipids. My background includes algal biomass valorisation, process integration, and the development of scalable biorefinery strategies aligned with circular bioeconomy principles.

I am particularly interested in collaborative projects aiming at translating algal lipid innovations into industrially relevant and commercially viable solutions for the food and nutrition sectors.

I would be glad to connect with coordinators or partners already shaping consortia in this area and explore potential synergies.

ALGATECH – The Centre of Algal Biotechnology evolved from the Laboratory of Algal Research, founded in 1960 in Třeboň. Throughout its history, the Třeboň’s site of the Institute of Microbiology of the CAS has focused on microscopic algae and their use in food and feed industries and in human and veterinary medicine. At present, the ALGATECH Centre is an internationally recognised centre for basic and applied research of microalgae, cyanobacteria and photosynthetic bacteria, including the development of algal biotechnology. It is the largest centre of microalgae research in the Czech Republic.The ALGATECH Centre is housed in the historic building of Opatovický Mill from the 18th century, which has been recently renovated. The Centre also operates unique thin - layer cultivation units for autotrophic cultivation and a biotechnological hall for heterotrophic cultivation of microalgae, including the equipment for processing algal biomass. The Centre is known for its excellent research in photosynthesis and algal cell cycles.
