Modelling ‘Magic’: the Search for Nanocatalysts

By | Advanced materials, Energy and climate change, Just Added | No Comments
The drive to design new materials with surprising capabilities is a fast-moving frontier of research – and computers are well-established as a crucial tool in accelerating progress. The TOUCAN collaboration, including SES members King’s College London, the University of Oxford and University College London, has shown how modelling & simulation can aid the design of nanoscale catalysts capable of speeding up key chemical reactions used in a range of industrial processes. Harnessing the skills of researchers such as Dr Francesca Baletto of King’s, TOUCAN has taken the first steps on a journey that could see industry develop remarkable new catalysts...

From London Labs to Global Growth: the Abzena Story

By | Bioscience and medicine | No Comments
Successful university spinout companies are a key feature of the UK’s economic landscape – but not many can match the remarkable rise of Abzena, a thriving life sciences business at the arrow tip of medical innovation. From its origins in cross-institutional research at the London School of Pharmacy (now part of UCL) and Imperial College London, to the launch of spinout PolyTherics and its evolution into Abzena, this is a story of how great science and commercial vision have led to new therapies targeting cancer, macular degeneration and other serious conditions. But this is also a tale where close, mutually...
