Dr Anne Christine Steenkjær Hastrup is director at Danish Technological Institute in Center for Bioresources focusing on valorisation of biomass through bioprocessing: biorefining (hydrolysation, fractionation and separation) and biofermentation followed by downstream processing and product development.
She holds a MSc in microbiology within mycology and fungal degradation of woody biomass and a PhD from the University of Copenhagen in non-enzymatic and enzymatic fungal decay mechanisms and wood decomposition.
She did a PostDoc at University of Aalborg, Denmark and Washington State in Section for Sustainable Biotechnology on lignin extraction and characterization and chemical and fungal modification of lignin. Dr. Hastrup has more than 15 years of experience in biosolutions breaching enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation, utilization and incorporation of biobased components in Biomaterials.
At DTI she has gained extensive experience in upcycling and upscaling of biobased residual and sidestream processes for food and feed grade purposes, functional ingredients, biomaterials etc. Dr. Hastrup is heading the food grade pilot plant at DTI for upscaling of biosolutions incl. biorefining processes, biofermentation, DSP, business model calculation, development and incorporation of biobased components into new products.
