deCYPher - minimising lab experiment whilst maximising experimental value

The use of microbial cell factories has the potential to accelerate the sustainable production of common chemicals, as well as it opens up the possibility to produce high added value molecules.ML6 participates in deCYPher, a Horizon Europe project. The aim of the project is to produce high added value terpenoids and flavonoids for which current production processes are limited. The project will cover the complete development cycle, starting from protein discovery and engineering, over microbial cell factory design and setup, over to small scale production runs. ML6 will collaborate with the deCYPher partners, speeding up development cycles. Furthermore, we want to guide the biotech field by transferring our board knowledge from other industries into the biotech field. This covers computer vision, natural language processing and structured data applications. Lab experiments are almost always hard, and resource costly: time, materials and machines. For deCYPher ML6 will support the wetlabs with machine learning pipelines that will suggest experiments with maximal value, for learning as well as for the end goal.
