BL3 BioBricks4Production

BoostLab3 focuses on the development of future technologies for the biological transformation of industries based on a scalable and biocompatible production technology that allows biofunctionalities and customized biobuilding blocks to be applied to and onto materials.

The goal of BoostLab3 is the functionalization of technical materials, such as steel, titanium, aluminum, copper, plastics, glass, and ceramics, with biological, physical, and chemical functionalities, such as antibacterial and superhydrophobic properties, as well as thin coatings, through scalable production technologies specifically tailored to these functionalities. These various functionalities are mediated through biological, physical, and chemical functional building blocks (FBS).

In the project, the FBS are developed, organized into modular functional building blocks, such as biological, physical, and chemical functional kits, and combined with material-specific adhesion mediator blocks from an established adhesion mediator kit, containing over 100 adhesion mediator constructs, to form bifunctional subassemblies (BF-BGs). The adhesion mediator blocks of the BF-BGs enable the efficient, scalable, and sustainable application of biological, physical, and chemical functionalities to the various materials.

In the second phase of the Bio4MatPro project from 2026 to 2031, it is planned to make the successfully developed technologies widely available in the Rhineland region, enabling companies within the framework of the planned Launch Center to easily and risk-free use the technologies and products for their own products and applications.
