This project with NuCana and the University of St Andrews aimed to find a way to make cancer treatments safer and more efficient via a new technology to improve the bioanalysis of samples.

The technology developed in this successful Innovation Fund project could enable Ingenza to identify additional commercial opportunities to expand their current P. pastoris biologics manufacturing platform and attract new commercial end-user partnerships.

IBioIC awarded Innovation Funding to Roslin Tech and University of Edinburgh to work on this successful project, which resulted in significant cost reductions for the company and provided multiple opportunities for the university to present their research.

Innovation funding from IBioIC enabled the project partners to test a new strategy to elucidate the natural production mechanisms used by Taxus brevifolia, also known as the Pacific Yew, and engineer them in faster growing plant cells, and propelled Green Bioactives technology readiness level from 3 to 7.
