Optimizing Dietary Solutions with H.A.P Biotechnology

The project aims to leverage EGIPH's innovative H.A.P biotechnology to address pressing dietary shortcomings in modern nutrition. H.A.P, a cutting-edge metabolomic methodology, offers unique capabilities to enhance and improve food properties that are otherwise unattainable. The primary goal is to identify and prioritize the most impactful dietary goals that can be achieved using H.A.P. This involves a comprehensive analysis of current nutritional deficiencies and potential enhancements that H.A.P can facilitate. The project will focus on understanding how H.A.P can be applied to improve nutritional value, taste, and sustainability of food products. By dissecting real-world dietary challenges, the project seeks to provide actionable insights into how biotechnology can transform food consumption and health outcomes.

Generate Market Research on Pharmaceuticals and Medicine Accessibility

The student will be expected to generate detailed, high-quality, market research on the current state of the pharmaceutical industry. There will be a focus on orphan drugs, unaffordable medicines, and crucial currently inaccessible medicines. We are a startup aiming to create a new, low-cost complementary method to synthesize lifesaving medicines. The prospective student would be expected to provide market research on the pharmaceutical markets so that we can understand the needs of the markets and where to focus our efforts, as well as to use the market research in presentations and information for investors.

Learn HPLC and work in a research lab analyzing secondary plant metabolites

Our company researches plant secondary metabolites and ways to generate commercially useful compounds using those enzymatic pathways. We are looking for a student to assist us in this research via hands-on experiments. Our constantly expanding seed library aims to cover all of the common and readily available crop plant families, as well as less common ones to ensure the broadest coverage for available genes. The genes that allow plants to produce the hundreds of thousands of known secondary metabolites are spread out through many families and even species, so unlocking the full potential of HAP starts with a strong and diverse germplasm catalogue.

Natural Plant Enzymes meet Synthetic Chemicals

The main goal for the project is to explore the reaction of natural plant enzymes when they encounter completely synthetic chemicals that are not found in nature. This will involve studying the biochemical processes involved and understanding how plants react to these synthetic chemicals at a molecular level. The project aims to contribute to the development of natural enzyme promiscuity in botany and provide insights into how plants react metabolically to synthetic compounds.
