Do you want to find out how your career might develop working for industry, the differences between industrial- and academic-driven research and how the industrial environment matches your career ambitions? 
Have you ever thought of developing your ideas into commercial outcome and impact? Here’s your opportunity to answer these questions and find out much more about your ability to work in teams and how the innovative, entrepreneurial spirit drives research translation.

Sessions form part of an integrated package that culminates in a Dragons’ Den-type pitch to establish a novel business concept:
Talks on molecular design for developing, manufacturing and delivering biological therapeutics and the societal/economic considerations for new therapeutics
Tutoring on the tools needed for self-awareness when working with others, career development and the entrepreneurial process
Visits to industrial sites (Centre for Process Innovation, FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies, GlaxoSmithKline) coupled with presentations from, and discussions with, industrial scientists.

ESACT Frontiers – October 18–21, 2023 at the Bedford Hotel, Brussels, Belgium

This 4-year fully-funded EPSRC CASE PhD project is a collaboration between the Departments of Biology (Dr Michael Plevin, Dr Jared Cartwright) and Computer Science (Prof Susan Stepney) at University of York and FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies (FDBK).

The goal of the project is to evaluate whether computational modelling and optimisation can predict protocols for flow­-through purification of recombinant protein targets. Flow-­through purification approaches address a real-world need for economic and flexible production of proteins in smaller amounts for more specialised or smaller markets, and would allow low volume production facilities to be located closer to the point of use.

Please contact Michael Plevin or Susan Stepney for more information.
