The SABBIN (opens in a new tab) project, funded by Fundação LaCaixa together with BPI and FCT within the scope of program “PROMOVE o interior” is developing biological solutions to make wine production in the Interior North of Portugal more resilient and environmentally sustainable. Our job @IST is to use yeast biotechnology to foster the valorization of residues from the wine industry into add-value molecules. Check out one of our favourite lipid-producing Yeasts while we are preparing them to transform low-value feedstocks into rich fuels. This has been part of the work of Alice Coimbra (opens in a new tab)! Stay tuned for more on the SABBIN project!
