Centre of Expertise HAN BioCentre
We conduct practice-oriented research together with students, aimed at responsible and smart use of the living nature. We work closely with companies that support the same ambition.
Our research focuses, for example, on the production of biobased raw materials based on fermentation, the development of separation methods for full use of residual flows from agriculture and horticulture, the development of new medicines by adapting substances obtained from plants, the development of alternative test methods to replace animal experiments or on the design of methods and software that can make use the enormous amount of available (genetic) data.
Research themes
Within HAN BioCentre we focus our research on three main themes, namely: Biobased Research, Bio-information|Data Science and Drug Discovery. We fill in these themes through a number of specific research lines
Collaboration
We work with partners in various ways: through contract research, a joint subsidy project, a tailor-made course, or through facility sharing.
We will gladly discuss the research options at the HAN BioCentre. Students can join us through an internship, a minor project or a graduation project.
Projects and partners
Over the years, we have successfully collaborated with a large number of partners on a variety of projects.
Our team
We develop scientific knowledge aimed at addressing questions from practice. We work in multi-disciplinary teams based on clearly different areas of expertise.
Events
Conference Lector platform Biobased Economy
Lecturer platform Biobased Economy will hold a mini-conference on 25 April focusing on innovation and adoption of biobased materials and energy. The morning is reserved for a look at the future of the platform. Small groups will discuss cooperation, research and impact. During the afternoon programme, research takes centre stage in parallel sessions with six presentations and a lab tour. HAN BioCentre employee Bram Visscher will give a talk on Methane to Materials. HAN BioCentre is co-organiser of the event.
Opening Connectr
Connectr, the gathering place for all things sustainable, officially opens its doors this year. HAN BioCentre has opened a lab in Arnhem where, among other things, the minor Biobased Innovations is taught. Soon more information about the exact opening date.
From Molecule to Business network event
Boosting Pharma, Empowering Careers. With that theme, a new regional initiative will be launched on 30 May at Pivot Park in Oss. With the cooperation of HAN BioCentre's manager Carlien Verberne and ATBC's course teaching staff.
Preclinical Drug Discovery
One of the courses of the Radboud Summer School covers all the important aspects of the preclinical stages of modern drug discovery. The course takes place at Pivot Park in Oss, former lecturer Pedro Hermkens is one of the lecturers. Start is on 1 July.
