The Institute was taken over in 1962 by the Fraunhofer Society. The Institute was given its present name in 1976, coinciding with the creation of the research fields involving bioprocess technology and membrane technology. The Fraunhofer IGB is one of six Fraunhofer institutes in Stuttgart, the Fraunhofer Society’s largest location. The IGB’s main areas of expertise include surface technology, membrane technology, biotechnology, cell system technology and bioprocess technology. The IGB offers its clients full-service solutions, ranging from market analysis and research to ready-to-use development. The scientists working at the IGB focus on various disciplines – from physics, chemistry, biology and molecular biology to engineering-related sciences. Their goal is to translate biological and biochemical problems and challenges in product preparation and environmental technology into commercially-attractive and environmentally-friendly processes and products. The IGB’s core areas of research are handled in four divisions, each focusing on different areas of application or business. 1) The “Molecular Substances for Pharmaceuticals and Chemical Industries” division focuses primarily on the development of therapeutic proteins and target screening, diagnostic methods using biochips and diagnostic agents, biocatalysis and enzyme screening, fermentation, downstream processing and scale-up production. The second division focuses on the development of 3-dimensional, organoid cell structures as test systems, tissue engineering and manufacturing based on GMP guidelines. In the “Functional Surfaces and Membranes” division, the scientists primarily work on surface-dominated polymers, biomaterials and biomimetic surfaces, together with the design of new membranes. The Fraunhofer IGB’s fourth division is devoted to biotechnical environmental rehabilitation, the recycling of organic waste, waste water purification and water management and the regenerative production of materials using microalgae. In addition to this purely R&D-based activity, the Fraunhofer IGB also offers services in various sectors such as analysis, molecular biology, cell biology and commissioned research into cell therapy agents based on GMP. | Dr. Claudia Vorbeck (claudia.vorbeck@igb.fraunhofer.de) | 140 | Accreditation to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 for HPCL, IC, GPC, GC and GC/MS, ESCA; GMP unit and manufacturing permit for autologous chondrocyte transplants (others have been applied for). | |

Novalung GmbH started in 2003 as the world's first company to market an artificial lung, the iLA Membrane Ventilator®, which is perfused by the heart like a natural organ. Through this reliable extrapulmonary ventilation, i.e. the removal of carbon dioxide of the lungs, signifies the patients' lung is given “Time to Heal"®. This enables a paradigm shift in the treatment of respiratory failure: from prioritization of pulmonary gas exchange to true of lung protection. In the meantime this procedures has been established and the portfolio of products for the so-called "ultra-protective" ventilation is constantly growing. Although Novalung operates on an international level, "Made in Germany" applies hundred percent to the iLA Membrane Ventilator®.
