The DIGIBIO project (ID:101060066) strives to enhance bio-sustainability by integrating digitalisation into data management and automatisation of laboratory processes. The Estonian Centre of Biosustainability, which comprises of University of Tartu (UT, Estonia) and Tallinn University of Technology, will be establishing Estonian Biofoundry. The consortium also has a third member: the Danish Technical University, which provides knowledge transfer from their biofoundry from the Novo Nordisk Foundation Centre for Biosustainability.
Our competence is complete with state-of-the-art equipment which enables automated high-throughput for strain or media screening supplemented with AI-based data analysis. The core of the automated laboratory comprises of a liquid handling robot, a colony picker and a growth profiler.
Tallinn´s branch of the biofoundry is focused on:
- Enzyme engineering
- Bioinformatics
The project has received 15 million € from the European Commission and 15 million € from the Estonian government.
The duration of the project is September 2023 – August 2029.
