Stefan Veltel

Prof. Dr. Stefan Veltel is a Professor at the University of Bremen affiliated with Faculty 5 and Department 2, conducting interdisciplinary research at the intersection of biotechnology and materials science. His work focuses on leveraging algae-derived components for industrial and medical applications.

His research portfolio emphasizes:

• Redox enzyme applications from macroalgae in bioindustrial processes
• Recombinant protein expression systems using microalgae like Chlorella vulgaris
• Antibacterial nanofiber development for advanced wound healing
• Environmental electron microscopy for complex material characterization
• Extraction of bioactive compounds from aquatic plant waste
• Diagnostic assay development using algal marker proteins

Current research projects include:

• Recombinant protein expression in Chlorella vulgaris as a production organism (08/2025-08/2026)
• Antibacterial nanofibers from fibrinogen (09/2024-08/2025)
• Equipment center for multidisciplinary structural analysis (01/2024-12/2028)
• Diagnostic tests using macroalgal marker proteins (09/2023-08/2024)
• Identification of bioactive substances in aquatic plant waste (06/2021-10/2022)
• BioProMare: Redox enzymes from algae subproject C (02/2020-07/2023)
• Antioxidants from macroalgae (08/2019-12/2021)

Prof. Veltel actively disseminates findings through conference presentations including the DA-CH Algen Summit (2021) and Federal Algen Stammtisch (2022), though no formal advisees or scientific awards are documented in available materials.
