We are delighted to welcome applications to join the leadership and management team of the new GlycoCell UKRI Engineering Biology Mission Hub as Hub Manager!
Background
Engineering Biology has huge potential for transformative positive health, planetary, commercial and social impacts. The UK recently invested £125 million in Engineering Biology, formed dedicated funding, policy and advisory teams/bodies, and published a House of Lords inquiry and National Vision for Engineering Biology.
The Mission Hubs are the UK’s flagship investments in Engineering Biology. GlycoCell applies Engineering Biology to Glycoengineering, enabling development and production of vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics and new drug targets. We have established transformative capacity and an excellent multidisciplinary consortium of experts developing a range of biotechnologies for numerous biomedical targets and applications.
GlycoCell includes 6 UK academic institutions (Nottingham, LSHTM, Imperial, Exeter, Quadram, Dundee) and 3 core industrial partners - but will grow from this start. GlycoCell began in 2024 and is funded until at least 2029, with plans to continue. GlycoCell already secured additional ‘Seed Corn’ funding to foster commercialisation opportunities arising from GlycoCell.
