The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC)
One of seven Research Councils that work together as Research Councils UK (RCUK),they fund world-class bioscience research that helps to tackle major challenges such as the impact of climate change, a healthier old age, and sustainable food production, land use and energy production. We would like to thank them for co-funding our student stipends through the joint iGEM funding scheme, which was coordinated by Professor Richard Cogdell FRS (University of Glasgow) and Professor Tracy Palmer FRSE (University of Dundee).
The Wellcome Trust
A global charitable foundation dedicated to improving health by supporting bright minds in science, the humanities and social sciences, and public engagement. We would like to thank them for co-funding our student stipends through the joint iGEM funding scheme.
The Society for General Microbiology
A membership organisation for scientists who work in all areas of microbiology. It is the largest learned microbiological society in Europe with a worldwide membership based in universities, industry, hospitals, research institutes and schools. We would like to thank them for co-funding our student stipends through the joint iGEM funding scheme.
The Society for Applied Microbiology (SfAM)
Is the oldest microbiology society in the UK, serving microbiologists around the world. As the voice of applied microbiology, SfAM works to advance, for the benefit of the public, the science of microbiology in its application to the environment, human and animal health, agriculture, and industry. We would like to thank them for co-funding our student stipends through the joint iGEM funding scheme.
The Society for Experimental Biology
Is one of five owner societies working together at Charles Darwin House to strengthen the voice of Biology and create a national hub for the subject. It aims to promote, and increase the influence of, Experimental Biology within the scientific community and society. We would like to thank them for co-funding our student stipends through the joint iGEM funding scheme.
