Environmental Biotechnology Innovation Centre
The Environmental Biotechnology Innovation Centre (EBIC) is hosted, managed & led by Cranfield University & involves research collaborations between 10 academic institutions across the UK & 30 associated partners.
EBIC aims to advance the field of environmental biotechnology by integrating synthetic biology techniques & interdisciplinary approaches, with the aim of driving innovation & developing practical applications to address environmental challenges such as pollution reduction & waste management.
By integrating existing cutting-edge techniques from SynBio, systems biology, biotechnology, engineering science & bioremediation, EBIC pushes the boundaries of innovation that can transform the field of environmental biotechnology. EBIC’s primary focus is on tangible, theme-oriented outcomes to drive research & innovation. Through this approach, we aim to bridge the gap between research & practical applications, ensuring that our findings make a substantial difference in the world.
