Expert Interview: Deepti Tanjore

The Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts Process Development Unit (ABPDU) is helping catalyze a new era of manufacturing: using biology to produce innovative materials, fuels, foods, and more. The ABPDU provides the technical resources, equipment, and expertise needed to take bench-scale discoveries all the way to market readiness. Listen to this podcast to learn more about the ABPDU’s collaborations across industry and academia.


In this 9-minute audio interview, Deepti Tanjore discusses the resources that the facility and its staff offer to help bring bio-based products to market and train the next generation of scientists.


Deepti Tanjore is the director of the ABPDU and head of the Process Engineering & Analytics department. Her research investigates how bioprocess conditions affect the health and efficiency of microbes inside bioreactors. Tanjore’s team is developing advanced sensors that can not only monitor cellular processes but also generate novel predictive data to generate AI tools that can adapt bioreactor parameters to a culture’s needs in real time.
