Bio-Boost will generate improved model-based capabilities to integrate microbiological and bioengineering parameters in digital shadows and twins for waste water treatment technologies,
The resilience of water water treatments to climate change depends on its microbiological ability to evolve and adapt. Bio-Boost will help build microbiological resilience in water water treatment by understanding and addressing the impacts of climate change.
Cohort 2 Bio-Boost students will help unlock the microbiological potential of WWT to protect aquatic environments. Priorities include:
developing biosensors to detect and quantify pollutants hazardous to environmental and human health (e.g. pharmaceuticals, metals, PFAS, etc.),
delivering solutions to help meet Defra's 25 Year Plan
demonstrating the value that nature-based solutions have in nutrient management, protecting water resources and enhancing health.
Cohort 2 will begin in September 2027.
