Edinburgh-based Ingenza, a leader in the application of biotechnology, has increased its footprint to over 12,000 sq ft within the Roslin Innovation Centre. This has allowed it to invest in additional bioprocessing equipment, supporting its upcoming project for the development…
I joined Ingenza in 2009 as a graduate in biomedical sciences. Five years later, with some industrial experience behind me, I decided that I would like to do a PhD, ideally while continuing to work at Ingenza. However, although there…
Biopharmaceuticals now account for a significant proportion of new drugs being released onto the market, providing alternative treatment strategies for many medical conditions, as well as offering new hope for previously untreatable or orphan diseases. Unlike the manufacture of small…
Scotland leads the way in the UK for environmental and agricultural biotech start-ups and, as a biotech company, it’s important for us to be actively involved in this community. The Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre (IBioIC20) Annual Conference is perfect for…
Ingenza’s Dr Stephen McColm is celebrating success after being awarded a PhD in chemistry from the University of Edinburgh. Through an 1851 Royal Commission Fellowship, a scheme that funds innovative doctoral research with commercial potential, Stephen developed an enhanced DNA…
