EBIC’s Prof McCarthy Featured in Nature’s ‘Technologies to Watch’
Here at EBIC we are delighted that our own Professor Ronan McCarthy’s work has been included in Nature’s seventh annual round-up of exciting innovations to watch in 2025.
Ronan, and his team at Brunel, are utilising microbes in the bioremediation of plastics. They are coaxing plastic-degrading bacteria to form dense biofilms on the surface of plastic fragments, allowing the bacteria to secrete enzymes onto the target plastics, without being washed away.
