Federico Tondini
As a scientist in the Department of Microbial Physiology and Fermentation, I specialize in screening microbial strains and optimizing fermentation processes. My work includes fermenting a wide range of diverse organisms, i.e., bacteria, yeasts, and filamentous fungi, across various scales, from microtiter plates to bench-scale bioreactors. I routinely employ the AMBR250 to test designs ranging from single-factor approaches to complex untargeted experimental conditions using machine learning. When a deeper understanding of the fermentation process is required, I rely on benchtop bioreactors integrated with balances, MS off-gas analyzer, and probes like capacitance and FT-IR. These systems enable precise handling through real-time monitoring and provide valuable insights into metabolic activity, which I use to inform future strain engineering strategies or convert into technology transfer packages for pilot-scale production.
