SynbiCITE launches new five-year strategy. Dedicated to promoting the adoption and use of synthetic biology by industry, SynbiCITE has announded the launch of a new 5-year strategy underpinned by a new £5M grant from UK Research and Innovation and other sources. SynbiCITE 2.0 aims to expand and develop SynbiCITE’s reach within the UK’s synthetic biology innovation and academic ecosystem, and create a single highly interconnected UK innovation cluster.

This will be driven through:

  • New partnerships with Manchester (SYNBIOCHEM), Bristol and Edinburgh.
  • Relocation to the new Imperial West Campus
  • Further interactions with the other UK SBRCs and academic synthetic biology community
  • Establishment of a UK-wide consortium and industry club.
