Microbial production of flavors and fragrances
Hosted by the Oberlies Research Group, University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG), USA
Date: 05 June 2025
Under the PROM programme (NAWA)
On 5 June 2025, Dr Filip Boratyński delivered an invited lecture titled “Microbial Production of Flavors and Fragrances” at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG), USA. The talk was hosted by the Oberlies Research Group, a leading team specializing in natural product chemistry and the discovery of bioactive compounds from microorganisms and plants.
During the lecture, Dr Boratyński presented recent advances in microbial biotechnology for the sustainable production of high-value flavor and fragrance molecules, highlighting the potential of engineered microorganisms as environmentally friendly production platforms.
This visit and invited talk were carried out within the framework of the PROM – International Scholarship Exchange of PhD Candidates and Academic Staff, funded by NAWA, as part of the INBIOWAL project supporting international collaboration and knowledge exchange in modern biotechnology.
