Using biology to recycle critical metals contained in spent LI-ion batteries (LIBs) from electric vehicles
Successful collaboration between FlexBio and the Edinburgh Genome Foundry demonstrates potential impact for future projects.
Scale-up of livestock iPSC cultures for cultivated meat
This successful project advanced the development of cell lines for cultivated meat and enabled the team to win additional funding to run further projects.
Optimising bacteria production and storage for field-scale application of a new biomineralization technology in ground engineering
Innovation funding enabled the academic team on this project to optimise their bacteria growing process and gave BAM Ritchies an insight into new opportunities, with the project collaborators set to continue to work together beyond the project.
Enamel matrix protein formulation for tooth repair
IBioIC awarded over £8.5k through our Spin Out Fund to Bioenamel to produce human proteins in yeast and test them on surfaces that mimicked damaged teeth.
Food for fungi
IBioIC funded a collaboration between 3F BIO and the University of Strathclyde to develop and test a sustainable protein production process which advanced the company's progress towards commercialisation.
Eliminating waste and accessing new markets through biotech innovation
SLG Technology is exploring new biotechnologies to convert the byproducts of leather processing into high-value protein for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and supplements.
Twin Scale-Up in 15 L Bioreactors
Oxford Biotrans aimed to test additional parameters for process improvement using the twin fed-batch system available at IBioIC's RapidBio facility.
Media Development & Scale-Up of Probiotic Culture Growth to 22 L
Scientists at the University of Bristol discovered a probiotic strain of Streptococcus thermophilus which had been found to have a variety of health benefits. Unfortunately, the media on which it was grown rendered it unsuitable for human consumption. Our Technical Team were approached to develop a new media which would provide similar cell growth and facilitate a commercially viable product.
Extraction of Algal Biomass
MiAlgae successfully carried out early stage bioprocess development work within IBioIC's bioprocessing facilities in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Bioprocess Development for Sustainable Protein
3F BIO delivered their 18-month Proof of Concept programme whilst commissioning their equipment and operating systems within RapidBio, our facility in Glasgow.
Semi-pilot scale harvest of recombinant cells for CDI drugs treatment analytics
Investigation of harvesting strategy of E.coli cells for the production of a novel treatment against Clostridium difficile infection (CDI).
Marine Biopolymers Limited
Marine Biopolymers Limited and Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences (SIPBS) worked together on the development of high-value compounds from Bacillus licheniformis
