| Drop-in for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) | The Associate Dean for Knowledge Exchange will provide advice if your company or organisation is interested in learning about the CPD courses currently offered, or discussing bespoke/joint CPD opportunities. |
| Introduction to the Advanced Materials Development and Testing Facilities | The Advanced Materials Research Laboratory aids the development of world class research and knowledge exchange in materials science and engineering. It combines Mechanical Engineering, Bioengineering and Civil Engineering laboratories to provide a hub for multidisciplinary research ranging from nano-scale characterisation through to component testing. |
| Monitoring batch to continuous production of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals | Hyperspectral Imaging could offer a tool to enable continuous mapping of flow dynamics during pharmaceutical manufacture. Find out more about this exciting new application being developed as part of the ICT-CMAC project and discuss with the project team how this, and other project outputs could benefit your manufacturing processes. |
| Tour of IBioIC Rapid Bioprocess Prototyping Centre (RBPC) |
The RBPC houses the most advanced technology available to rigorously assess the potential of new cell lines, bio-products and novel approaches to bioprocessing. |
| Centre for Biophotonics | The Centre for Biophotonics is our advanced optical light microscopy imaging facility. Wide range of commercial microscopes, home-built microscopes and analysis software available. Hear about our soon to be launched Mesolab. The Mesolens microscope allows faster, deeper wider and more sensitive imaging than what is currently available. It makes possible the imaging of relatively large specimens, such as embryos or tumours with full 3D recording of thousands of cells. |
