Expertise in biotechnology

The blue economy side streams (fisheries, aquaculture) are generating considerable biomasses that are wasted or at best used for low value products. This is unfortunate as the biomass (fish, crustaceans, algae) is rich in precious bioactive components. At RISE, we valorize these renewable components into high value products.

Recent developments in omic technologies are revolutionising the life sciences by opening up an unprecedented range of applications and opportunities. They allow us to tackle complex problems that could not be solved by previous approaches. Furthermore, the power of omic approaches increases exponentially when effectively integrated and combined.

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology has revolutionized the field of genetic research by enabling fast and efficient sequencing of both DNA and RNA. We offer customized solutions to meet your specific requirements and needs, ranging from experiment design to data analysis.

The field of biodegradation of organic materials includes very long experience of conducting various laboratory-scale digestion experiments - both substrate sampling, pre-treatment and analysis as well as batch and continuous experiments. There is also a high level of expertise in aerobic degradation of biomaterials, pesticides, organic pollutants

3D printing of food can be used to shape a food item—such as a purée—into a specific form created in a digital file. It also provides an opportunity to place flavors or ingredients within a 3D geometry. At RISE, 3D food printing has been used to design foods that are easier to swallow, as well as to prototype foods with reduced salt content.
