Thursday, May 16th, 2013

GSK Media Centre has reported that GSK and Save the Children have formed a unique partnership with the aim to save the lives of a million of the poorest children in the world.

The intention is together they will be able to accelerate the availability of two children’s medicines and establish a joint R&D board to tackle causes of newborn and infant death.

Among the key initiatives are the transformation of an antiseptic used in mouthwash into a life-saving product for new borns and the release of a powder form of an antibiotic in child friendly doses to help fight pneumonia which is one of the main killers of children under five. 

The partnership will initially run two flagship programs in Sub Saharan Africa and  Democratic Republic of Congo and Kenya.

BioCity to develop new BioHub at Alderley Park

Thursday, May 9th, 2013

AstraZeneca have appointed BioCity to establish a new centre for bioscience companies at their Alderley Park site in Cheshire. The new BioHub has 36,000 sq ft of high-end laboratory and office facilities for early-stage and growing firms engaged in innovative drug discovery and development. Demand for accommodation is expected to be competitive with tenant companies already having moved in.

Conversations between BioCity and AstraZeneca began in 2012 when they begun exploring opportunities to create a specialist centre for upcoming life science companies.

Dr Glenn Crocker, CEO of BioCity Nottingham Limited, has led the discussions with AstraZeneca: “We bring many years of experience in developing thriving communities of successful life science companies and look forward to working closely with the AstraZeneca management team. I believe we now have a unique opportunity to build connections between tenant companies based at Alderley Park, Nottingham and Scotland which could ultimately transform the way life science innovation is achieved.”

Speaking on behalf of AstraZeneca, Clive Morris, AstraZeneca Vice President, Research & Development said, “We are delighted to welcome three innovation-driven companies to Alderley Park. I am confident that with BioCity’s experience in this area we can continue to seek further opportunities to attract future investment and build on the existing world class facilities available at Alderley Park.”.

Biodiesel developed using bacteria

Friday, April 26th, 2013

As reported in chemweek.com. UK researchers at the University of Essex have developed technology that enables that them to produce biodiesel from the E. coli bacteria. The technology is almost identical to conventional biofuel, is still in trial.   The E. coli bacteria naturally turn sugars into fat, to build their cell membranes and the synthetic fuel oil molecules can be created by harnessing this natural oil production process.

“Replacing conventional diesel with a carbon neutral biofuel in commercial volumes would be a tremendous step toward meeting our target of an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Global demand for energy is rising, and a fuel that is independent of both global oil price fluctuations and political instability is an increasingly attractive prospect,” says John Love, professor of biosciences at the University of Exeter.
