About
Marco Oldiges is a prominent bioprocess engineer whose research sits at the intersection of automation, miniaturization, and high-throughput bioprocess development. Based at Forschungszentrum Jülich, his work has fundamentally advanced how researchers develop and optimize microbial production processes, dramatically reducing the time and resources required to move from laboratory concept to scalable bioprocess. Oldiges is perhaps best known for pioneering microbioreactor (MBR) systems that combine high experimental throughput with rigorous process monitoring and control — work that has garnered over 176 citations and reshaped early-stage bioprocess development. His contributions extend across automated workflow design, robotic integration with stirred tank bioreactors, and the application of statistical tools like Kriging-assisted experimental design to phototrophic systems including microalgae for biofuel production. His group has also tackled analytical bottlenecks, developing rapid metabolic phenotyping approaches using mass spectrometry to match the speed of parallelized cultivation platforms. Notably, Oldiges has championed the Design-Build-Test-Learn paradigm, enabling fully autonomous strain characterization pipelines compatible with modern genome editing. His breadth — spanning bacterial platforms like *Corynebacterium glutamicum*, heterologous protein secretion, and lipid quantification in microalgae — reflects an exceptionally versatile research vision that continues to accelerate industrial biotechnology.
