SynbiCITE partner Visbion awarded government grant from Innovate UK SMART initiative for Synthetic Biology project

Visbion are delighted to have been chosen as the recipient of a government grant via the Innovate UK SMART initiative for a new project entering into the field of synthetic biology. The aim of the project, entitled ‘A Comprehensive Web-based Broker for Biotechnology Design and Manufacturing’ is to create a method by which synthetic biology designers can efficiently search for tools and component parts for their designs. This will be achieved by utilising Visbion’s existing DICOM systems to develop a web-based broker system. The SMART initiative aims to provide funding for research and design projects in the fields of science, engineering and technology to develop products and services which might promote economic growth.

Visbion are already members of SynbiCITE and are fortunate to have in their chairman Professor Richard Kitney and their CEO Dr Stefan Claesen, experts in the fields of synthetic biology and DICOM technology who can lead the team through the project. The remainder of the team will consist of Visbion staff members alongside specialists from Imperial College’s Centre for Synthetic Biology and Innovation (CSynBI). The project has a timescale of approximately 2 years and the initial stages of this fascinating new venture are already well underway. The team are excited to see where work will take them over the coming months.
