The Bioseparations Lab in the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering at Texas A&M University is committed to advances in bioprocessing and bioseparations of recombinant proteins and peptides expressed in transgenic systems.  The main research focus of the Lab is solving unique bioprocessing challenges posed by diverse transgenic plants systems. 

 

The Bioseparations Lab has broad academic and industrial experience in protein biochemistry, analytical methods development, process development, design, and economics. The members of the Bioseparations lab have more than 30 years of cumulative industrial biotech experience and have worked with transgenic eggs, corn, rice, canola, duckweed, sugarcane, and tobacco.

 

The Bioseparations Lab has strong collaborative ties with the Texas A&M Institute of Plant Genomics and Biotechnology and Agricultural Research and Extension Center at Weslaco.

 

External collaborators include transgenic biotech companies and institutes such as Biolex, ERA Biotech, In B: Biotechnology, SemBioSys, Origen Therapeutics, ProdiGene, Ventria Biosciences, and Fraunhofer USA.
