Feather waste, a keratin-based byproduct of the food industry, poses a significant environmental challenge due to its slow decomposition. Current disposal methods often involve burning or chemical treatment. Microorganisms offer a more sustainable solution for breaking down this stubborn waste.

Beti, a Young Researcher at the Biotechnical Faculty, is passionate about microbiology. Her doctoral research focuses on using microbes to decompose keratin waste in the agro-industry. Beyond her lab work, Beti actively promotes science awareness, participating in events like the European Science Slam where she represented Slovenia. Her vision is to translate laboratory projects into practical applications, guided by the idea: "For those who are curious, the whole world is a laboratory."
