Summary
Lorena Lima is a fermentation scientist with eight years of experience bridging microbiology, industrial biotechnology and gas fermentation to develop sustainable bioprocesses. Currently at Braskem, she applies academic-trained expertise—Ph.D. in Agricultural Microbiology and research fellowships at the University of Tartu—to scale microbes and processes that convert waste feedstocks into fuels and chemicals. Her background includes adaptive laboratory evolution, CRISPR-based cell engineering, and hands-on quality control in pharmaceutical environments, giving her a rare mix of discovery-driven research and regulatory lab rigor. She also holds a systems analysis and development degree, reflecting a comfort with computational thinking and experimental design. Based in São Paulo, she is known for integrating synthetic biology with practical process development to advance biosustainability. An understated strength is her track record of translating academic gas-fermentation innovations into industry-relevant workflows.
