UKRI & BBSRC Engineering Biology Mission Hubs and Mission Awards Science Showcase

EBIC are proud to be one of 6 UKRI BBSRC Engineering Biology Research Hubs and were delighted to get the opportunity to share our innovative work and connect with the other hubs at the recent Science Showcase, held in Manchester.

Representatives from the hubs, as well as our friends at UKRI and BBSRC, along with industry experts and others in the field, met over two-days to highlight the exciting research and outputs from the world of engineering biology. With an engaging line-up of presentations, as well as research posters and an interactive workshop our team had the perfect opportunity to make connections and inspire new ideas.

With thanks to the team at UKRI for facilitating this opportunity to build connections and inspire new ideas – together we can realise the full potential of engineering biology.
