The first session, “Why Trichoderma reesei is Precision Fermentation’s Quiet Workhorse,” will be held on December 18, 2025, featuring Dr. Sharief Barends, Head of Research Leiden (Netherlands) and Head of Fungal Genetics at IFF, and Dr. Christopher Landowski, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Onego Bio. Together, they will explore the research legacy, strengths, and industrial advantages of T. reesei, and how it compares to other microbial platforms commonly used in precision fermentation. A white paper will follow, offering further insight into its unique capabilities in protein manufacturing.
