Biography

Prof. Dr. Peter Neubauer has received his PhD in Microbiology at the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University of Greifswald (Germany) in 1992. Afterwards he was postdoc in the group of Prof. Sven Olof Enfors at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH, Stockholm, Sweden) and Head of the Bioprocess group under Prof. Rainer Rudolph at the Martin-Luther Universität Halle-Wittenberg. From 2000-2008 he worked as a professor for Boprocess Engineering at the University of Oulu, Finland. Since 2008, he is working as a professor of Bioprocess Engineering at the Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin) and Director of the Institute of Biotechnology at TU Berlin since 2013. His research has included the study of bioprocess scale up and scale down and microbial physiology in high cell density and industrial scale bioprocesses as well as the development of strategies for the production of difficult-to-express proteins. Prof. Neubauer pioneered techniques like EnBase, Senbit, and FastScan (HyriScan) and is cofounder of the company BioSilta. Based on this research and fellowship training he has received several awards and honors, such as the Research scholarship from the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation´s Collegiate Program “Life sciences – Medicine, Life and Health sciences” and acted as guest professor in different Universities. He is serving as an editorial member of several reputed journals like e.g. Microbial Cell Factories and Biotechnology Journal. He has co-authored more than 140 research articles/books. Currently he is a member of the scientific advisory boards of the Leibniz-Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology (HKI) and the Head of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Competence Center of Food and Fermentation Technology, Tallinn, Estonia.
