Its novel method for making a key ingredient of everyday household products avoids fossil fuel-based feedstocks. The resulting ingredient is both biodegradable and low in ecotoxicity – opening pathways to major global markets. It’s taken just eight years to get here, driven by the energy and ingenuity of PhD student Ben Dolman and his supervisor Dr James Winterburn. BBSRC Networks in Industrial Biotechnology and Bioenergy (NIBB) helped them develop contacts that proved crucial to this classic clean-growth success story, which now includes a strategic agreement with one of the world’s biggest chemical producers.Key impactsInnovative lower-cost process for turning renewable feedstocks into biodegradable surfactants successfully brought to market.The NIBB provided targeted support at critical points in the emergence of Holiferm, the spinout created from the breakthrough.Over £1 million of investment already secured in the company.Rapidly growing workforce, with 14 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs and rising at the Manchester/Daresbury-based firm.Holiferm set to reach industrial-scale production capacity in 2022, providing a significant, environmentally friendly boost to decarbonisation of the chemicals sector.Full story can be found on BBSRC website https://bbsrc.ukri.org/research/impact/bbsrc-networks-help-holiferm-turn-greentech-breakthrough-into-growing-business/ESACT-UK 2021 – Registration open – FREE to attendRegistration is now open for the 31st ESACT UK annual conference taking place virtually on 6/7 January and is FREE for all members HEREProgramme includes presentations on topics such as Covid-19 & vaccine manufacture, antibody bioprocessing and advanced therapies.  Speakers include –Paul Kellam, Kymab LtdSandy Douglas, University of OxfordMartin Smith, VMICFelicity Rose, University of NottinghamJames Budge, University of KentIvan Wall, Aston UniversityJohn Pieracci, BiogenBioProNET2, 7th Annual Scientific MeetingNovember 19/20 2020This years’ symposium will be virtual, covering the entire range of production and manufacture of biological modalities (expression-process-analytics).  Presentations will be delivered in short sessions, starting on the afternoon of November 19th and throughout November 20th.

Our general objectives are to:mobilise a collaborative UK scientific community to address the challenges around, and enhance, the manufacture of emerging novel biological modalities.capitalise on entrepreneurship and address fundamental scientific challenges to enable robust and economically viable manufacture.develop a forum to engage academics and early career researchers with the industrial sector and entrepreneurial practitioners to provide a framework to train and inspire the next generation.As a starting point for the focus of BioProNET2 we will be running an annual scientific meeting and a series of subject-specific workshops throughout each year, which this year will have a virtual, on-line structure. You have previously been associated with, and/or attended, meetings organised by BioProNET and, at this stage, we wish to inform you of our general plans and ask you to indicate your interest in hearing about, and being involved in, future activities organised by BioProNET2. We hope that you will and would ask you to forward this communication to any colleagues who you would also think would be interested in being part of BioProNET2 activities.Just insert the appropriate heading and return this e-mail to the sending address:YES, please!!
