EBIC (Environmental Biotechnology Innovation Centre) aims to enable the responsible and safe scale up cutting-edge techniques from synthetic biology, biotechnology, computation modelling and engineering science to develop innovative solutions in bioengineering and bioremediation. Through collaborative efforts and innovative approaches, EBIC strives to address environmental challenges and foster sustainable solutions for the benefit of society.
In 2023 the UK Government formed the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), with a mission to make the UK a science superpower. Engineering Biology is one of the critical technologies proposed to make this aim a reality, and engineering biologists are placed to potentially supercharge innovation and growth across the science and tech sectors.
So, come along and see how we are utilising the exciting field of synthetic biology across areas such as bioremediation, biosensing, wastewater management, and advancing resource recovery!
