The Integrated Biorefinery Laboratory (IBIOREF), led by Dr. Sourish Bhattacharya, is part of the Process Design & Engineering Division, CSIR–Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute (CSMCRI), Bhavnagar, Gujarat.
Our research group focuses on bioprocess engineering, biorefineries, marine biotechnology, CO₂ utilization, and waste valorization to create sustainable solutions for energy, environment, and health. From converting lignocellulosic biomass into bioplastics to developing microalgal-based nutraceuticals and capturing industrial CO₂ for mass algal cultivation, our work bridges fundamental science with real-world applications.
We believe in integrating biology with engineering to design scalable processes that contribute to a circular economy and support global sustainability goals.
At the Integrated Biorefinery Laboratory (IBIOREF), our work bridges biology and engineering to deliver sustainable innovations. Our research spans across:
Research highlights — selected peer-reviewed publications and patent information.
