About
Holger Morschett is a bioprocess engineer whose research sits at the intersection of microalgal biotechnology, laboratory automation, and high-throughput bioprocess development. His work has made significant strides in accelerating the development of phototrophic bioprocesses, particularly for microalgae-derived biofuels and bulk chemicals — a field where slow, labor-intensive optimization has historically hindered industrial scale-up. Among his most influential contributions is the development of an automated Nile red staining assay for high-throughput quantification of microalgal lipid production (2016, 37 citations), which dramatically improved screening capacity in early-stage research. Building on this, Morschett pioneered an integrated framework combining parallelized microscale cultivation, laboratory automation, and Kriging-assisted experimental design (2017, 21 citations), setting a new standard for time-efficient process optimization. His later work extended automation to laboratory-scale stirred tank bioreactors with model-driven analysis (2021, 16 citations), and most recently to fully autonomous Design-Build-Test-Learn cycles enabling high-throughput strain characterization from frozen cell bank to product assay (2023). Collectively, his contributions represent a systematic push toward autonomous, data-driven bioprocess development, offering the broader synthetic biology and biotechnology communities powerful tools for accelerating strain and process engineering.
