Newcastle University
Newcastle University (Officially, the University of Newcastle upon Tyne) is a public research university located in Newcastle upon Tyne in the North-East of England. The university can trace its origins to a School of Medicine and Surgery (later the College of Medicine), established in 1834, and to the College of Physical Science (later renamed Armstrong College), founded in 1871. These two colleges came to form one division of the federal University of Durham, with the Durham Colleges forming the other. The Newcastle colleges merged to form King's College in 1937. In 1963, following an Act of Parliament, King's College became the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Centre for Synthetic Biology and the Bioeconomy
The CSBB is based on world-class expertise across all Newcastle University's faculties - Medical Sciences, Science, Agriculture and Engineering and Humanities Arts and Social Sciences. The centre has world-leading expertise in core synthetic biology disciplines (computing science, bioinformatics, Bio CAD/CAM, engineering, responsible innovation (ELSI, ELSA, etc.) and cell biology, as well as computational and model-based design of synthetic systems and development of synthetic bacterial systems
Centre for Bacterial Cell Biology
The Centre for Bacterial Cell Biology (CBCB) is the world’s first major research centre with a focus on bacterial cells. Their work provides scientific insights crucial for the discovery and development of new antibiotics, as well as providing solutions to a huge range of industrial and environmental problems
Interdisciplinary Computing and Complex BioSystems (ICOS)
ICOS carries out research at the interface of computing science and complex biological systems. They aim to create the next generation of algorithms that provide innovative solutions. The problems they focus on are in natural complex systems and synthetic ones. This ranges from biology, chemistry and physics, to biological engineering, health care, and software engineering.
Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC)
Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) is a UK Research Council and NDPB and is the largest UK public funder of non-medical bioscience. It predominantly funds scientific research institutes and university research departments in the UK.
Wellcome Trust
The Wellcome Trust is a biomedical research charity based in London, United Kingdom. It was established in 1936 with legacies from the pharmaceutical magnate Sir Henry Wellcome to fund research to improve human and animal health.
The Society For Experimental Biology
