We were delighted to host such a successful one-day workshop at Cranfield bringing together researchers, early-career scientists, and industry stakeholders to share the latest advances in PFAS detection, degradation, and biotechnological solutions.

The event, supported by the Environmental Biotechnoly Network (EBNet) and the Environmental Biotechnology Innovation Centre (EBIC), highlighted interdisciplinary approaches spanning synthetic biology, enzymatic degradation, microbial defluorination, and sensor technologies. Discussions also addressed the technical and translational challenges of scaling these innovations from lab to field.

Lively engagement throughout the day highlighted the urgency and momentum in this space with particular recognition for outstanding early-career contributions and thought-provoking dialogue on the future of environmental biotechnology in PFAS remediation. – Tao Lyu, Senior Lecturer in Green Technologies, Cranfield University and EBIC Theme 2 co-lead.
