The Institute for Microbial Biotechnology and Metagenomics (IMBM) is a globally competitive institute through excellence in research and in the training of future research leaders, based within the Department of Biotechnology at the University of the Western Cape. The core research objective of the Institute is to develop Microbial Biotechnology, with a focus on “omics” and innovative technologies. The IMBM has a strong international reputation as a go-to facility for omics and genetic engineering training. The microbial biodiscovery pipeline that develops and commercialises innovative products and services through the sustainable exploitation of indigenous biodiversity using genomics approaches is a particular area of strength. This multidisciplinary and highly collaborative research has led to the identification and functional characterision of novel bacterial and phage species, biosynthetic pathways, enzymes, and compounds for application in the human health, agriculture, environmental and industrial sectors. The products/services being developed address national and global socio-economic priorities listed in the UN SDGs.
