University of Strathclyde
The University of Strathclyde offers research strengths in relation to BBSRC’s theme of Bioscience for renewable resources and clean growth. It provides expertise on microorganism biology, the production of specialised metabolites, the identification of novel antimicrobials, as well as in drug discovery, formulation, and manufacture (including digital formulation design, pharmaceutical manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and life science informatics). Well-established collaborative links already exist across the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, and the departments of Biomedical Engineering, Pure and Applied Chemistry, and Physics, which conduct interdisciplinary research in biology. Strathclyde also has a strong industry facing research arm with one of the associate partners, the Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre (IBioIC), being housed on campus in the Technology and Innovation Centre, which further expands the breadth of expertise in the partnership.
