BIOCYC builds its own production building in Potsdam Science Park

In our interview, BIOCYC CEO Alexander Gorczyza talks about antibodies for cancer diagnosis and why the Potsdam Science Park is the ideal location for the growing company.

Research on Sustainability

Are snow algae suitable as a source of omega-3? How can surface coatings be produced without petroleum? Can resources be saved with artificial photosynthesis? How much microplastic is actually in our food? We want to get to the bottom of these and many other exciting questions in our new blog series. Every Tuesday, we will publish another exciting article on sustainable research at the Potsdam Science Park.

Der Potsdam Science Park mit den Fraunhofer- und Max-Planck-Instituten im Vordergrund

Welcome

to one of the most innovative locations for science in the Berlin-Brandenburg metropolitan region. At the Potsdam Science Park, top international research meets excellent education and research-related production. Research institutions such as the Max Planck and Fraunhofer Institutes, the University of Potsdam, the Brandenburg State Archives and more than 30 companies and start-ups jointly create a “Campus of the Future” here in Potsdam-Golm.

More than 12,500 people conduct research, work and study here in the fields of biotechnology, medical technology, optics, geosciences, astrophysics and gravitational physics. And the number is constantly growing. All this in the countryside, embedded in Brandenburg’s diverse cultural and natural landscape – and only 30 minutes from Berlin’s city centre. This is the Potsdam Science Park.

Come see for yourself!

Extraordinary Careers at Potsdam Science Park – Yann Has Opted to Do a Voluntary Scientific Year (FJN) at Fraunhofer IZI-BB

You’ve just received your high school diploma – now what? While many young people go straight into further education after finishing school and others use the time to travel, some decide to take up volunteering. There is a wide range of options in this regard, the most well-known being the Voluntary Social Year. However, many don’t know that this is also an opportunity to get a taste of scientific research. Yann Niklas Klötzer is one of the people who have opted for a Voluntary Scientific Year (FJN) at Fraunhofer IZI-BB.

Andrey Poloznikov Mimi-Q

3 Questions with Mimi-Q: »We Can Develop Drugs More Quickly and Effectively at a Lower Cost – without Using Animal Testing«

Animal testing continues to play a key role in the approval of new drugs. The startup Mimi-Q has developed a testing process that closes the gap between basic research and clinical studies. In future, it may also start to replace these tests and thus greatly reduce their use. In this interview, founder Dr. Andrey Poloznikov tells us about the idea behind Mimi-Q, how the company’s process could speed up drug development and how it benefits from Potsdam Science Park.

PSP Conference

PSP Conference 2022 – Prospects and New Innovations in Biotechnology and Bioeconomy

Biotechnology is a key technology which can be used to feed the growing world population, save resources and improve the health of many millions of people. Bioeconomy entails the transition to a fossil-free economy. On 20 October 2022, renowned scientists and innovation drivers from business and startups gathered at this year’s PSP Conference at the Potsdam Science Park with the motto ”Biotechnology & bioeconomy – the obstacle course of the future” to discuss bioeconomy’s potential and success stories.

3 Questions with kez.biosolutions: »A Revolution in Basic Research« – Optimised Antibiotics Based on Natural Ingredients to Combat Resistant Pathogens

Antibiotic-resistant pathogens are becoming a serious concern. In 2019, more people died from infections with resistant pathogens than of HIV and malaria together. kez.biosolutions GmbH is a start-up that is working on a ground-breaking process for developing brand-new, optimised substances from natural ingredients, such as sugar beets, with substrates in a bioreactor. In our interview, kez.biosolutions founder Dr. Alexander Rittner tells us about the unique platform technology developed in a decade of basic research and about the young company’s plans for its future at Potsdam Science Park.

»Moving to Another Country Is Never a Trivial Thing to Do.« – How Darya Niakhaichyk Helps International Researchers Ease in Germany

From getting a visa to finding an English-speaking doctor, Darya Niakhaichyk helps international researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics with navigating their stay in Potsdam, Germany – and knows many of their challenges from experience.

Unusual jobs at the Potsdam Science Park – meet Cliff Janiszewski, a scientific glassblower

As a material for use in science, glass has many advantages. As well as being resistant to heat, cold and most acids, it is also fireproof, easy to clean and transparent. These qualities make it absolutely essential in science, particularly for lab work where glass flasks and cylinders are indispensable. In teaching and research, glass equipment needs to be constantly reused, adapted and repaired. This is where Cliff Janiszewski comes in, as a glass apparatus maker at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces – one of the more unusual professions at Potsdam Science Park.

3 Questions with DiGOS: “Making the World a Little Bit Safer” – Fighting Space Debris with Laser Pulses

7,000 – 28,000 km/h. That’s the kind of incredible speeds satellites can travel at in space. They orbit the earth at distances of 100-23,000 km. Inch-perfect tracking of their positions is a gruelling challenge. One of the few companies in the world that are up to the task is DiGOS in Potsdam. In fact they’re so good at it they’re planning to put up their own building in the new Technology Campus at the Potsdam Science Park. Managing Director André Kloth tells us all about how they manage to track satellites down to the millimeter via Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) and how they plan to help reduce space debris (space junk).

3 Questions with Vragments: “We often come in where corporate IT departments are hitting their limits”

Virtual Reality has been a buzzword for some time now. Vragments is one company that’s helping companies digitalize using innovative solutions such as VR. From their beginnings in immersive storytelling and projects like a virtual model of Berlin’s new BER airport, they’re now shifting towards advising clients on their Industry 4.0 transformation processes. CEO Professor Linda Rath tells us about their goals, the approach they’ve been taking, and why the Potsdam Science Park is the best place to be for what they’re doing.
