Deepti Tanjore

Dr. Deepti Tanjore is the Director of Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts Process Development Unit (ABPDU) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Deepti interfaces with several scientists from industry, academia, and start-ups that are each individually trying to resolve scale-up challenges for their technologies. The ABPDU performs process-scale studies to generate, recover, and purify prototype amounts of kilogram-level materials. Deepti’s research at ABPDU focuses on understanding microbial heterogeneity in bioreactors and developing real-time and/or on-line analytical tools for adequate regulation during the scale-up of these processes. Deepti received a BS in Chemical Engineering from Andhra University and a PhD in Biological Engineering from Pennsylvania State University. She is currently pursuing an MBA from Haas School of Business, University of California – Berkeley.
