- When people think about biotechnology, they often picture the final product. A new ingredient. A sustainable material. A therapeutic. An enzyme. But behind every successful innovation lies something much less visible. Months of optimisation. Hundreds of fermentation parameters. Analytical data. Process improvements. Failed experiments. Because in biotechnology, discovering something is only half the journey. Making it reproducible, scalable and economically viable is where the real work begins. That's why industrial microbiology
- 𝗔 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗻! The first days are already behind us, and students have started settling into new classrooms, meeting new people, and taking on exciting challenges. Even though our own school days may be behind us, that excitement of learning something new never really disappears. At Biolynx, we embrace that same mindset every day. In R&D, curiosity drives everything we do. Every experiment teaches us something, every challenge brings new insights, and every project is an
- How can AI become smarter and more sustainable in agriculture? We're excited to share our latest blog post as part of the RAIDO Project, now live on the RAIDO website! The article explores how RAIDO is developing intelligent AI solutions that improve efficiency while reducing the computational resources needed for agricultural applications — helping to make digital farming both smarter and more sustainable.

- Back from the summer break and ready for an exciting new season! We kicked things off with a relaxed summer BBQ, bringing the Biolynx team together to reconnect after the holidays and give our new colleagues a warm welcome. The evening wasn't just about great food and good conversations. As a fun team activity, we also watched the solar eclipse together—a memorable moment that reminded us of the importance of curiosity, discovery, and taking time to appreciate science beyond the lab. At Biolynx, we believe that strong
- Biolynx is expanding! This week, we’re excited to welcome two new team members. 🎉 Tiele recently graduated from Ghent University with a Master of Science in Biochemical Engineering Technology. She also completed her thesis with us last year, focusing on phages. Now, she’s diving into fermentation with bacteria, yeast, and fungi. 🦠 Mahkameh (Neda) holds a PhD in Plant Pathology and spent 9 years at Ghent University researching the interactions between fungi and plants, with a focus on biocontrol of crop diseases. At Biolynx, she
- Happy #InternationalBeerDay! At Biolynx, we don't brew any beers (or at least not during working hours), but we still feel a close connection to our friends in the brewing industry. That's because brewers are the original pioneers of fermentation! Long before modern labs existed, they were already mastering the art of micro-organisms to make something amazing. Today, we're using that same technique to tackle different challenges. Instead of beer, we’re using the power of fermentation to: - develop alternative proteins - turn
- This week, we want to put Valentine in the spotlight! Valentine joined Biolynx almost a year ago. Having previously worked in various fermentation labs, her expertise was a fantastic addition to our team. While she now mainly focuses on phage research, she is involved in several other projects across the company. We all appreciate Valentine for her hard work, assertiveness and go-getting mindset. On top of that, her vibrant energy truly lifts the entire workspace. In her free time, Valentine is a real busy bee, she practises
