PEOPLE SUPPORTING UNLOCK

"I am very confident that UNLOCK will provide an integrated world‐class facility that will greatly impact the world's main international research quests."
Madalena Alves
Centro de Engenharia Biológica

"The novel opportunities offered by UNLOCK will enable us to develop highly efficient and sustainable applications for water treatment. We therefore enthusiastically support the implementation of UNLOCK."
Jeroen Rijnhart
Centre of Expertise Watertechnology

"Being able to cultivated and preserve mixed microbial communities, together with their molecular characterization and the improved access to their data, will open up new avenues for basic and applied life sciences."
Jörg Overmann
DSMZ

"I expect that we and the research groups and companies we collaborate with will greatly benefit from direct use of this facility and of its outcomes."
Gertjan Medema
Chief Science Officer KWR, principal microbiologist

"The UNLOCK experimental and data platform will facilitate remarkable insights into untapped microbial resources, with the potential to lead to disruptive changes across a broad range of scientific fields and industries."
Paul Cotter
Teagasc

"Through its integrated approach, UNLOCK involves the unprecedented combination of cultivation and characterisation for tapping into the extensive resources of microbial consortia. It is a truly uniquely approach which will undoubtedly lead to ground-breaking discoveries in microbiology in the future."
