We are delighted to be a recipient of a funding injection from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) which will accelerate the commercialisation of new engineering biology ventures. Part of a £2.8 million UKRI seed corn fund has been awarded to Environmental Biotechnology Innovation Centre (EBIC) to bridge the gap between research and market-ready products and technologies, with comprehensive support and resources for researchers.

At EBIC, the seed corn funding will be awarded to researchers at the ten partner universities across five years, providing timely support to high-potential projects and helping to de-risk innovations and attract investment.
