Microorganisms were the first lifeforms to evolve on Earth and now have the potential to feed, fuel and heal our future. Looking back, the human race has had a complex relationship with our microscopic ancestors, but what we know now is that they may be the thing that saves us from ourselves. Michael is a Biochemical engineer and fermentation specialist. His previous research spans across the areas of renewable energy, platform chemical production and the production of medicinal products. While he understand the entirety of the bioprocess his focus is on optimising the use, growth and productivity of microorganism based processes.
