For the very first time, the prosperity partnership programme dedicates its focus to the UK’s bioscience and biotechnology sectors.
The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) will support 10 dynamic research collaborations between UK business and academia in its first round of prosperity partnership funding.
From developing effective cancer drugs to reducing the environmental impact of industrial processes, the projects aim to unlock innovation and address key challenges faced by the bioscience and biotechnology sectors.
Worth over £42 million, the 10 projects are funded via a UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) cross-council collaboration led by BBSRC.
