The Institute of Bioanalytics and Agro-Metabolomics (iBAM) is aiming to perform cutting edge scientific research and to develop advanced methods in the field of (bio)analytical chemistry.

The CAC with its two Christian Doppler Laboratories is pursuing a highly interdisciplinary approach for the determination of chemical contaminants including mycotoxins and allergenic proteins in food.

On the one hand, emphasis is put on degradation or detoxification of pollutants (in soil, water and waste) or the development of monitoring methods to evaluate the success of restoration technologies.

Practical application and process development for technical implementation are a primary concern independent from fundamental investigation of the underlying microbiological activities.

It focuses on adequate feeding of agricultural livestock and the significant impact of animal nutrition on quality and safety of primary products, such as milk, meat and eggs.
