Centre of Excellence for Biocatalysis, Biotransformations and Biocatalytic Manufacture (CoEBio3)

The CoEBio3 is the UK's new organization designed to provide a world-class scientific environment in which the necessary research and development can be carried out to create new biocatalyst-based processes to meet the changing needs of industry in the next 10-20 years.

Manchester Centre for Integrative Systems Biology

The Manchester Centre for Integrative Systems Biology (MCISB) at the University of Manchester was awarded £6.4M by the BBSRC and EPSRC to pioneer the development of new experimental and computational technologies in Systems Biology, and their exploitation. The MCISB provides a hub for cutting-edge systems biology research in the Manchester area, acting as a focal point for the creation of the necessary ideas and infrastructure, and for establishing new methods and routines.

Integrative Systems Biology - Doctoral Training Centre

Our Doctoral Training Centre Integrative Systems Biology at the University of Manchester trains students for a PhD in Systems Biology. It is one of three UK Systems Biology training centres in funded by the British research councils EPSRC and BBSRC. We are based in the brand new Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre, which is populated by expert staff with experience and expertise in molecular, cell and medical systems biology.

National Centre for Text Mining

The National Centre for Text Mining (NaCTeM) is the first publicly-funded text mining centre in the world. We provide text mining services in response to the requirements of the UK academic community. NaCTeM is operated by the University of Manchester with close collaboration with the University of Tokyo.

Michael Barber Centre for Mass Spectrometry (MBCMS)

The interests and expertise of the Centre are in the development of mass spectrometry and related analytical techniques, and their application to problems of biological importance.

Manchester Centre for Biophysics and Catalysis (MCBC)

A platform technology centre integrating biophysical, structural, and computational methods to address problems in catalysis and the dynamics of macromolecules.

MIMIT™

The first, and at present only, translation outside the USA of the highly successful CIMIT® initiative for generating and developing innovations in medical and health technology. MIMIT™ aims to broaden the scope and to accelerate the development of new healthcare technologies; thereby enabling new technologies to reach patients faster and more effectively.

Biofuels Cluster

This project aims to investigate the enzymatic pathways for the deconstruction of lignin, a by-product of wood processing. This work aims to develop clean, biological processes to unlock the potential value of lignin as a sustainable feedstock for low emission transport fuel and valuable chemicals production. As part of the CSIRO Energy Transformed Cluster on Biofuels, The University of Manchester partnership brings experience and expertise in the development of biotechnological solutions for industrial processes.
