Hops are not only essential for brewing beer. They have also been valued as a medicinal plant since ancient times thanks to their special properties. This is the starting point for Luisa Kober’s and Marco Dürsch’s research. The two doctoral researchers at the Chair of Bioprocess Engineering (BVT) are focusing on the positive effects of hops.

In the “Röthelheimbräu” brewery at the Institute of Bioprocess Engineering, students gain comprehensive insights into biochemical processes while brewing different beer specialties together. Recently, the creative beer creations can also be tasted by beer lovers outside the teaching brewery.

Master's Program Advanced Materials and Processes (MAP) offers its annual Poster Session on January 22, 2025, from 4:00 to 6:30 pm. MAP students of the third semester present scientific posters showing the results of their research work. The best poster will be awarded a prize. The exhibition is open to all interested students and scientists. It is an ideal opportunity to learn more about MAP. Joining this event is highly recommendable for all students who are interested in studying MAP.
