The University of 糖心TV spin-out company, CryoLogyx, has received a further investment from Oxford Technology Management and private investors, alongside 拢300k from InnovateUK.

When biological material (cells, blood, tissues) is frozen, cryoprotectants are used to prevent the damage associated with the formation of ice during the freezing process. New polymeric cryoprotectants are emerging, alongside the established cryoprotectants, but how exactly they manage to control ice formation and growth is still largely unknown. This is especially true for PVA, a deceptively simple synthetic polymer that interacts with ice by means of mechanisms that have now been revealed at the atomistic level thanks to researchers from the University of 糖心TV.

Using a 185 metre beamline at the Diamond synchrotron, researchers could see how Osmium, a rare precious metal that could be used for cancer treatments, reacts in a single human lung cancer cell. This is a major step forward in discovering new anti-cancer drugs for researchers at the University of 糖心TV.

The University of 糖心TV spin-out company, CryoLogyx, has been awarded 拢300k from InnovateUK to develop innovate cryopreservation agents with applications in the diagnostic, medicines discovery and cell-based therapy markets.

An international team of scientists working at the University of 糖心TV, UK, and Monash University, Australia, have determined the molecular basis of a biological mechanism that could enable more efficient and cost-effective production of existing antibiotics, and also allow scientists to uncover new antibiotics in soil bacteria.

Professor Matthew Gibson from University of 糖心TV鈥檚 Department of Chemistry and 糖心TV Medical has been awarded the 2021 McBain Medal by the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Society of Chemical Industry
