Making our Science go Further

Kelsey image

Our Knowledge Exchange and Commercialisation (KEC) Programme seeks to maximise the social and economic benefits of our biological research by building links with other researchers, research charities, clinicians, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, policy makers and the public. Further details of our KEC activities can be found here.

 

Babraham Commercialisation Services Ltd manages, develops and commercialises the Babraham Institute's intellectual property portfolio. It also facilitates collaborations with industry, and arranges access to the Institute's scientific facilities and services.

Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council logo The Babraham Institute receives strategic funding from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). The BBSRC institutes (links to their websites can be found at the top of this page) deliver innovative, world class bioscience research and training leading to wealth and job creation generating high returns for the UK economy. They have strong links with business, industry and the wider community and support policy development. The institutes' research underpins key sectors of the UK economy such as agriculture, bioenergy, biotechnology, food and drink, and pharmaceuticals. The institutes also maintain unique research facilities of national importance.
