Expertise and services

Expertise tailored to your process and your industrial maturity.

Every solid-state fermentation process has its own constraints: strain, substrate, equipment, environment, performance and quality targets, level of industrial maturity.

I step in where technical and industrial expertise can make a difference, from a one-off analysis to project support over several months.

Develop an SSF process

Structure and secure the first steps of a new process.

Experimental strategies, substrate selection and preparation, inoculation and culture conditions.

Optimize performance

Identify the levers that genuinely improve the process.

Analysis of key parameters, variability and reproducibility to improve performance, robustness and quality.

Solve a technical problem

Turn a problem into an action plan.

Diagnosis of an unstable or underperforming process, deviation analysis and prioritization of improvement options.

Prepare scale-up and industrialization

Move a process towards robust production.

Identification of critical parameters, anticipation of the change of scale and R&D-to-production transfer.

Applied microbiology

Link strain behavior to process performance.

Strain evaluation and monitoring, culture collection management and analysis of the interactions between strain, substrate and culture conditions.

Quality and analysis

Build quality into process development.

Process monitoring, analytical approaches, data interpretation and identification of the factors affecting reproducibility.

Technology development

Explore new development paths.

State of the art, opportunity assessment and translation of technical possibilities into development options.

Ways of working

From one-off diagnosis to ongoing support.

Each engagement is built around your need, your level of maturity and the resources available in-house.

One-off assignment An outside view on a specific issue. Process analysis, diagnosis of a technical bottleneck, literature review or benchmark, variability analysis and targeted recommendations.

Project support Technical support across several stages of development. Engagement over several weeks or months to support development, process optimization, problem solving or scale-up preparation.

Ongoing support External expertise available as needs arise. Regular sessions with your R&D, quality or production teams to challenge technical choices, analyze results and secure the next steps.

On site or remote Flexible collaboration, in France and internationally. Remote or on-site work depending on the project. Discussions and deliverables in French or English.
