Gustavo Fehrenbach

Dr. Gustavo Fehrenbach is a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Research, Development and Innovation center of Technological University of the Shannon (Midlands Midwest), specializing in pharmacology and sustainable applications of natural compounds. His work intersects pharmaceutical science, food safety, and environmental management with a focus on polysaccharide-based solutions.

His research centers on polysaccharide drug delivery systems (chitosan, glucans), antimicrobial therapies using essential oils, and microbiome modulation for obesity and immunity. Key areas include:

• Therapeutic applications of macroalgae-derived compounds
• Veterinary wound healing with herbal extracts
• Sustainable aquaculture through beta-glucan diets
• Environmental impact mitigation in livestock management

Recent publications (2025) reveal a strong interdisciplinary trend: 80% involve cross-institutional collaborations addressing UN Sustainable Development Goals. His work bridges pharmacology (66% of fingerprint), food safety (40%), and environmental science (37%), with increasing emphasis on real-world applications like oyster aquaculture resilience and pasture management in Europe.
