The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research council is the lead funder of academic research in the biosciences for British Institutions. BBSRC’s mission is to “Promote and Support, by any means, high-quality basic, strategic and applied research, relating to the understanding and exploitation of biological systems”. This year, in conjunction with the wellcome trust, the council has provided us with funds for maintenance stipends and lab consumables.

The biochemical society aims to advance the molecular and cellular biosciences, to promote their impact on biotech, agriculture, and medicine. This is achieved through publication, scientific meetings, and grants for scientists and students. This year the society supported us through funds put towards maintenance stipends and lab consumables.

With a reputation as a world-leading teaching and research center, the UCL department of Biochemical engineering is at the forefront of bioprocess research and ‘boasts a long tradition of innovation’. This year the department has provided us lab-skill training, supervision, lab facilities and funds put towards lab supplies, maintenance stipends, and event organization.

The society for general microbiology is the largest microbiological society in Europe. It promotes understanding of microbiology to a vast range of stakeholders through publication of academic journals and organizing international scientific conferences. This year the society supported us through funds for maintenance stipends and lab consumables.

The internationally renowned faculty of mathematical and physical sciences at UCL ‘encompasses the logical, experimental and mathematical study of our universe’. This year the department provided funds for travel expenses on our visit to Basel.

New England Biolabs is a world leader in the production and supply of reagents for the life science industry, with robust environmental and corporate policies on sound ecological practices. This year they have provided us with essential lab kits.

Snapgene is a user-friendly, multi-purpose software, which provides a simple user interface for construct design and clone verification. This year we have been provided with free temporary licenses to access their software.

Synbiota is an open science platform, helping scientists make discoveries faster and cheaper. This year the group has funded our Art collaboration with Central Saint Martins.
