Summary
- In partnership with InvestNI, a briefing event will take place on 16 May in Belfast
- In partnership with Highlands and Islands Enterprise, a briefing event will take place on 23 May in Inverness
Background
Scope
- contain a significant level of technical risk, in that there is some level of uncertainty about how the proposed technical approach will work in practice
- involve companies carrying out most (if not all) of the research in-house. Projects should build a technical evidence base to enable progression to larger-scale projects.
Biosciences
- commercial application of sequencing technologies focusing on genomics
- integration and exploitation of phenotyping technologies
- integration of 'omics technologies, such as integrating metabolomic, proteomic, genomic and phenomic data collection and interpretation capabilities
- biological imaging systems, biosensors, probes/ markers, diagnostic platforms.
- metabolic engineering
- novel manufacturing processes for biological products and novel biological production systems
- formulation and delivery approaches for biological products, including biopharmaceuticals and functional foods.
-
approaches to organising, filtering and interpreting biological data, including biological system modelling, data visualisation and user-centred design.
