Meet & Match: More than just bigger - The art of bioprocess scale-up

Meet & Match Workshop

20.10.2025, 14:10 – 15:30 Uhr (online)

Have you visited the Learning Lounge "More than just bigger: The art of bioprocess scale-up" or are you interested in scaling up biotechnological processes? Then take the next step with us - from knowledge to co-creation!

The TransBIB Meet & Match Workshop focuses on dialogue: together with experts and other participants, you will discuss challenges, develop ideas and make valuable contacts. In an interactive setting with digital tools such as the Miro Board, you can actively shape the workshop.

What you can expect:

• Discuss live with experts and other participants

• Contribute your ideas and develop them further

• Make contacts with like-minded people and potential partners

Our experts:

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Zavrel (TUM)

Michael Zavrel is Professor of Bioprocess Engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Straubing Campus. In research and teaching, he focuses on the development and scaling of sustainable bioprocesses that utilise biogenic residual and side streams and lead to bio-based, biodegradable products; his spectrum includes fermentation, reprocessing and process design. After more than 13 years in industry at Süd-Chemie and Clariant, he has held the professorship at TUM since 2022.

Prof. Dr Alexander Grünberger (KIT)

Alexander Grünberger is Professor of "Microsystems in Bioprocess Engineering" at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and researches and teaches at the interface of microfluidics and bioprocess development. His group conducts research on new microfluidic cultivation methods, investigates population heterogeneity and scaling from micro to laboratory scale. After holding positions at Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH and Bielefeld University, among others, he has held the professorship at KIT since 2022.
