The Biorenewables Development Centre (BDC) is a an open-access R&D centre, based at the University of York, working at the interface between academia and industry to convert plants, microbes and biowastes into profitable biorenewable products.

The Bioscience Technology Facility (BTF) provides access to technology and research services for the biosciences. This unique facility allows ready access to a wide range of technologies and expertise in an integrated manner that can help drive forward your research efficiently and cost effectively. The BTF is one coherent set of core labs which include Imaging and Cytometry, Genomics and Bioinformatics, Metabolomics and Proteomics, Molecular Interactions and Biophysics, and Protein Production...

Providing the research community with access to a range of resources for the genetic transformation of crops and genome editing; such as the development of new targeted gene knockout resources: CRISPR/Cas9 technology; Training facilities: hosting visitors for hands-on training at the John Innes Centre; Constructs: developed specifically for Brassica, Wheat and Barley - the pBRACT series of vectors

The ISMB Protein Crystallography & Biophysics (BiophysX) Centre provides coherent and supported access to a range of methodologies for the characterization and quantitative analysis of biomolecules and their interactions. The ISMB BiophysX Centre supports semi-automated screening of proteins and protein complexes for structural study including crystallization (robotic sample handling, Mosquito and crystal hotel system). We seek to enable accurate analysis of biomolecular interactions that...

The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) is set to reach double pre-industrial levels by about 2050. This increase would be much faster were it not for the uptake of CO2 into the upper ocean and the terrestrial biosphere. Currently 2-3 of every 10 molecules of CO2 released by human activity is taken up into existing terrestrial ecosystems. The degree to which this uptake will continue as atmospheric CO2 concentrations increase, is not settled. Many of the most important processes...

The Bodleian Libraries mission is to provide an excellent service to support the learning, teaching and research objectives of the University of Oxford; and to develop and maintain access to Oxford's unique collections for the benefit of scholarship and society. The Bodleian has been collecting material for more than 400 years and currently holds more than 12 million printed items, over 80,000 e-journals, and some 56,000 linear metres of outstanding special collections. These include rare books...

The Bragg centre for materials research is a hub of research excellence at the University of Leeds, specialising in all aspects of material science from design to characterisation. The centre spans 15 constituent schools, drawing a core membership from the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences (FEPS) and has a physical presence in the WH Bragg building as the centrepiece connecting the Chemistry, Physics and Engineering disciplines on campus. The Bragg Centre marks a significant...

The Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM) founded in 1985 is part of the Department of Production Engineering at the University of Bremen, Germany. ZARM is mainly concentrated on fundamental investigations of gravitational and space-related phenomena under conditions of weightlessness as well as questions and developments related to technologies for space. At ZARM over 100 scientists, engineers, and administrative staff as well as many students from different disciplines are...
