PG was classified in the discipline of Chemistry for the first time
In this year's edition of the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2021, Gdańsk University of Technology was classified in two disciplines out of five broad scientific areas: Chemistry and Engineering - Electrical & Electronic.
The authors of the ranking analyzed over 3 800 study programs at over 1 440 universities. They considered among others opinions about the universities in the academic world and among employers, citation rate and the impact of research on the environment.
The ranking included 51 disciplines in total, grouped into five broad subject areas: ‘Arts & Humanities’, ‘Engineering & Technology’, ‘Life Sciences & Medicine’, ‘Natural Sciences’, ‘Social Sciences & Management’.

A unique platform for the production of proteins using psychrotolerant yeast
Another license agreement was signed for an invention in the field of biotechnology created by scientists from Gdańsk University of Technology and Łódź University of Technology. It is a platform that enables the production of proteins based on the gene expression system in a selected yeast species adapted to growth at low temperatures. This unique solution can be used, among others in the production of biopharmaceuticals or enzymes operating at low temperatures, useful for the production of e.g. fragrances or washing agents that work in cold water.
- We have created a tool that allows the production of any protein theoretically. A gene from any organism can be introduced into the selected yeast. Of course, in practice it may turn out that not every protein can ultimately be produced in this way, but thanks to our solution, such attempts can be made - says PhD, DSc, Eng. Marta Wanarska, university professor from the Department of Molecular Biotechnology and Microbiology, Faculty of Chemistry, GUT.
