Healthcare Biotechnology

3D-structure of firefly luciferaseThe principal focus of our research programme over the last 30 years has been the high value - low volume sectors of pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals and diagnostics. The work is characterised by not only being highly inter- and multi-disciplinary and covering aspects of biochemistry, microbiology, chemistry, electrochemistry, physics, electronics and chemical engineering, but also covering the entire range from pure science to strategic applied science, some of which has significant commercial applications. The principal areas of expertise are: Downstream Processing of Biopharmaceuticals, Biosensors and Bioelectronics, Enzyme and Microbial Technology.
