Carlsberg Laboratory

Carlsberg Laboratory is a historic research institution founded in 1875, operating as the primary R&D center for the Carlsberg Group. It is globally recognized for foundational contributions to biochemistry, including the development of the pH scale and the isolation of pure yeast strains. The laboratory focuses on advancing brewing science through research in yeast physiology, raw material optimization (barley and hops), and sustainable production processes. Utilizing modern biotechnological tools like CRISPR and high-throughput screening, the lab works on climate-resilient crops and innovative fermentation solutions to improve product quality and environmental impact.
