We are pleased to announce the first webinar of the UNIgreen’s Biochemistry and Biotechnology series. At this occasion, some of the advances in the identification and transformation of agro-industrial wastes into value-added bioproducts will be presented. This webinar will also illustrate how biotechnologies can contribute to the development of bioeconomy and circular economy.
Thematic
Biotechnological valorization of natural products and wastes from agriculture.

Moderator
Patrick Gonzalez
Assistant Professor at SupBiotech. Co-coordinator of WP3 Research & Innovation. PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology, expertise in cell death, conducting research at the Partnership Research Laboratory in Agroecology (SupBiotech) on the development of antifungal substances and the evaluation of their impact on soil microbiome.
He dedicates his research to the innovative prophylactic strategies for sustainable agriculture. Current research focuses on valorization of agriculture by-products into bioactive substances against molds. He also leads the sustainable development initiative for research laboratories at SupBiotech. This initiative aims at mitigating the environmental footprint of research activities.
