Overview

Industrial Biotechnology program from University of California, Riverside research activities in agricultural biotechnology are directed at developing molecular-level tools to facilitate the development of modified crops that are resilient to stressors and applications of these tools to understand and modify plant stress responses.

Key Facts

Industrial Biotechnology program from University of California, Riverside researchers are also incorporating plant metabolic pathways in hosts such as bacteria, yeast and other plant species to produce a range of bioactive molecules.

Around 13-15 billion gallons of fuel ethanol are produced annually. Lignocellulosic biomass represents an alternative source of renewable carbohydrates for conversion to ethanol and other fungible transportation fuels. CIB researchers are engaged in all aspects of the process for depolymerizing lignocellulosic biomass, its hydrolysis to sugars and subsequent fermentation to biofuels.

The production of antibiotics by microbial fermentation has had a major impact on healthcare since the introduction of penicillin in the late 1940s.

Over 260 new products have been approved for 230 indications, with more products in the pipeline. Monoclonal antibodies and vaccines are the leading product types today. Biologics represent over $120 billion in annual revenues in the US. CIB research addresses key issues in biologics production and antibody discovery.
