DIG4BIO Training School: Innovation in Action at TU Berlin

🤖 DIG4BIO Training School: Innovation in Action at TU Berlin!

From October 27–30, 2025, the DIG4BIO Training School – “An Introduction to Automated Research” gathered participants from IST and IST-ID at TU Berlin for an inspiring 4-day deep dive into the world of automation, robotic laboratories, and digital biomanufacturing.

👩‍🔬 Guided by Prof. Peter Neubauer, Rosa Haßfurther, Nicolas Cruz, and Annina Kemmer, participants explored how high-throughput experimentation, and advanced data analytics are transforming modern biotechnology — from small-scale design to industrial applications.

🧠 Days 1–2: Participants defined research hypotheses and experimental goals, shaping the concept for a collaborative manuscript on Vibrio natriegens cultivation.

 ⚙️ Days 3–4: Theory met practice — with 24 fermentations in mini bioreactors performed on TU Berlin’s 2mag platform, combining automation, real-time analytics, and teamwork in true DIG4BIO fashion.

💬 This immersive experience strengthened cooperation between European partners and showcased how digital tools and robotics are paving the way for next-generation biomanufacturing.

✨ Automating discovery. Advancing digital biotech. ✨
