Jonas Ravn

Researcher in biotechnology with expertise in fermentation, synthetic biology, microbial strain development and enzymes. At RISE, I lead innovations in fermentation and enzymatic bioprocesses to convert industrial side streams into sustainable food solutions using fungi, bacteria, yeast and enzymes. Areas of expertise include:

• Precision fermentation of food proteins
• CRISPR/Cas9-based yeast strain engineering for upcycling industrial side streams
• Enzymes for optimizing nutritional content, bioavailability and functional properties in food and feed raw materials
• Solid-state fermentation with fungi for mycoprotein production and nutritional enhancement
• Lactic acid fermentation to improve product stability, safety, taste and aroma
• Gut health studies related to fiber (prebiotics) and the microbiome
• Bioinformatic methods to identify, understand and reprogram microorganisms at the genomic level
