Environmental Biotechnology Cooperative Research Centre (EBCRC) develops advanced technologies based on biological systems to improve efficiency and reduce or utilise waste to benefit a wide range of industries and the environment. EBCRC concentrates its research and commercial efforts in three core areas: biofilm prevention and dispersal, rapid in-field microbial detection and control and bioprocesses such as bioremediation and industrial wastewater treatment.

EBCRC brings together the multidisciplinary skills of researchers, engineers and industry participants to bring out novel technologies in environmental, industrial, agricultural, veterinary, mining and medical applications.
