Women researchers are strongly influencing the adoption of agricultural biotechnology in Africa.
Natural fibres from materials such as silk and crab shells could be used in medicine to replace synthetic materials like plastics to fix damaged human tissue.
Could tobacco help in the fight against coronavirus? As researchers all over the world race to develop a vaccine for COVID19, Futuris takes a look at how scientists in Spain are using molecular farming to help build tailor-made vaccines and antibodies.
For 2020, the BIO International Convention will transition to a new, virtual event format, BIO Digital. This virtual gathering of the global biotech industry provides access to key partners via BIO One-on-One Partnering, educational resources to help drive your business, and the insights you need to continue critical research and development.
This call aims to attract proposals focused on biotechnology as a key enabling technology (KET) in the context of the bio-based economy. It tackles 21st century societal challenges such as decarbonisation of the economy and reduction of the reliance on fossil feedstocks. Therefore, funding provided by national and regional programmes will be combined to launch this joint call for multilateral research projects addressing “Biotechnology for a sustainable bioeconomy”.
