Hacettepe University FoodOmics Laboratory is hosting multifaceted projects in which state-of-the-art technologies are used in combination with classical methods. While DNA barcoding, probiotics, plant biotechnology and genetically modified foods are studied, omics technologies such as genomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics are also at the center of research. Topics such as microwave technology, alternative protein production, indigenous starter cultures, microencapsulation and sustainable microbial product production are important in the laboratory's wide range of research that serves the goals of sustainable agriculture and food safety.

The laboratory's projects also conduct in-depth studies in areas such as culture collection modeling and microbiota characterization. In this way, innovative methods are used to develop local biotechnological solutions, including prototype product production and risk analysis. The laboratory's contribution to food safety, biosafety and sustainable agricultural practices is focused on both protecting the environment and improving quality in the food supply chain.
Broad research areas and innovative approaches enable the FoodOmics Laboratory to provide important solutions in food and agriculture in line with the European Union Green Deal and the Sustainable Development Goals.
