CONTEXT

Since the 19th Century, industrial production has massively affected the environment, because its transformations only go in one direction. These unsustainable processes have generated tremendous amounts of waste, which are a great burden on our planet.

CHALLENGE

We need to come up with new chemical reactions to reverse this process in a sustainable way. Living organisms could carry them out, but how can we include new-to–nature reactions into the genome of living beings?

OUR PLAN

We will use stress conditions and chemo-robots to help microorganisms incorporate into their DNA the ability to perform these chemical transformations. This will allow them to turn industrial waste into a resource, closing the cycle of production.

FUNDED BY:

MADONNA is a Research and Innovation project funded by the European Commission. Grant agreement H2020-FETOPEN-1-2016-2017-766975.
