Matís and the Faculty of Genetics at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, have worked together for years on various European projects, most recently in the "Virus-X" project, which studied the genetic variability of bacterial viruses in the environment and developed new enzymes for genetic engineering.
Recently, Dr. Hildegard Watzlawick from the University of Stuttgart Matís and brought to Matís a collection of enzymes and genetic engineering tools that the Faculty of Genetics has developed and built in recent years. The museum is of great value and an important knowledge transfer is taking place, which will be useful to Matís in research and development in biotechnology in the near future.
