The DATIpilot Innovation Sprint “Sweethoven Biotech” has officially started at the University of Bonn.
With funding of €178,517 from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the project focuses on advancing the production and purification of a sweet dietary-fiber candidate developed at the Institute for Microbiology and Biotechnology.
A central objective is to develop and scale a chromatographic purification process that can provide larger quantities of the candidate material for further application-oriented studies.
The project runs from June 2024 to May 2025 under the leadership of Dr. Marcel Hövels.
The project marks an important step from fundamental research toward the systematic evaluation of potential future applications. Sweethoven Biotech is used in this context as the name of the applied research and transfer project at the University of Bonn.
