Managing the key challenges facing human health and the global environment is an increasingly complex task. Fortunately, bioprocessing – the creation of useful products using biological materials, such as microorganisms – holds the potential to address many of these issues…
Dr Leonardo Magneschi is the Head of Molecular Biology at Ingenza. In 2020 he and his team embarked upon a project in conjunction with the University of Oxford and the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) to rapidly formulate a highly effective vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. New research published in Science by…
Advances in engineering biology are creating an ever-expanding toolkit and evolving infrastructure that can conceptualise, deliver and scale solutions to address a wide range of biological, chemical and even social problems. As society emerges from a global pandemic, two of the…
Ingenza has undergone significant transformation and growth since its inception in 2003, which would not have been possible without a talented and multifaceted team lending their collective expertise to the development and commercialisation of biobased products. New positions and responsibilities…
Dr Connor Bowen is a Senior Scientist working within the molecular biology team at Ingenza. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Dundee, and followed it up with a PhD and post doc at the same institution, studying Serratia…
Maintaining quality in all aspects of a business is a vital part of any company’s operations, and the cornerstone of its success. Quality management enables effective planning, control and continuous improvement, all with the aim of providing customers with products…
I started with Ingenza in 2010 as a research assistant in the molecular biology department, upon completing a BSc in infection biology at the University of Glasgow. After two years in that position, I moved across to a role in…
With COP26 taking place nearby in Glasgow, we thought this was a good time to highlight our commitment to a sustainable and greener future. This is reflected not only in the innovative and disruptive work we do with our customers…
Synthetic biology is a tremendously powerful approach to finding sustainable alternatives to finite resources, but it can still take huge amounts of time, money and effort to find the suitable starting materials and processes for efficient and scalable production. So,…
My path to molecular biology started from a general interest in science and slowly developed into my passion and a career here at Ingenza that I enjoy very much. I did my undergraduate degree in biomedical sciences at the University…
