The consortium, led by Professor Gill Stephens of the University of Nottingham, recently achieved success in the Industrial Biotechnology Catalyst \u2013 a multi-million pound competition funded by Innovate UK, BBSRC and EPSRC \u2013 resulting in the award of \u00a33.46 million over a five-year period.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The consortium includes industrial partners Ingenza, Lucite, the Centre for Process Innovation, Green Biologics and Chain Biotech \u2013 along with the University of Nottingham, University College London and the University of Cambridge \u2013 and aims to develop new industrial biotechnology-based routes to commodity chemicals, moving away from fossil fuel and petrochemical-derived building blocks. Project manager Andrew Wells from the University of Nottingham explained: \u201cOur aim is to use synthetic biology approaches to develop sustainable technologies based on the continuous fermentation of genetically-modified cells, enabling the rapid and cost-effective production of commodity chemicals from renewable carbon sources. By using multi-scale modelling and establishing \u2018plug and play\u2019 biological processes, we can improve efficiency, helping to accelerate the implementation of scalable bio-based manufacturing processes that are commercially viable.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49706\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49706\" style=\"width: 541px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-49706\" src=\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/ingenza-team.jpg\" alt=\"ingenza-team\" width=\"541\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2018\/01\/ingenza-team.jpg 636w, https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2018\/01\/ingenza-team-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2018\/01\/ingenza-team-600x315.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-49706\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The team of Ingenza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingenza has joined forces with leading universities and industrial partners to participate in the ConBioChem collaboration, a translational project focused on the development of novel platform technologies for the continuous bio-production of commodity chemicals.
