The Interdisziplinäres Forschungsmodul (IFM) in the Master's program is designed to provide students with an in-depth knowledge of process engineering. The interdisciplinarity is particularly evident through the logical networking of different areas of specialization within the laboratory. For this purpose, practical experiments are to be carried out in three different institutes; the experiments are linked thematically.
With this interdisciplinary research module, students will learn about the value chain from gene to product. Therefore, the module is divided into three subsections:
Experiment part 1 at the Institute of Biochemical Engineering (ibvt)
Content: Production of an intracellular enzyme with the genetically modified bacterium E. coli
Supervisors: Yama Hadi, Rochus Jonas
Experiment part 2 at the Institute for Particle Technology (iPAT)
Content: Development of a cell disruption method and separation of cell fragments
Supervisors: Hasti Ghanadimaragheh, Stephanie Michel
Experiment part 3 at the Institute of Chemical and Thermal Process Engineering (ICTV)
Content: Enzyme immobilization, production, and purification of the product isomaltose
Supervisors: Olinda Sidorow, Darja Werner
Registration is done by e-mail to Olinda Sidorow (olinda.sidorow@tu-braunschweig.de). Please state your name, subject of study (+semester) and matriculation number when registering. The module is offered in both summer and winter semesters. It lasts one week (5 lab days) and usually takes place in March/April and September/October. Registration deadline is the 10th of September 2026.
The presence laboratory will take place in September/October 2026 in the period from 28.09.2026 to 02.10.2026 and from 01.10.2026 to 07.10.2026 (date for two groups). If the number of participants increases, one additional date or group will be offered. The preliminary meeting will take place in the meeting room at ICTV (R0.08, Langer Kamp 7) and is mandatory for participation (17th of September 2026, at 10:00). Access data for the StudIP event can be obtained from Olinda Sidorow.
