🌱 Exciting times at James Hutton Institute We're thrilled to co-lead the new £38m National Alternative Protein Innovation Centre. Aiming for a sustainable future with planet-friendly proteins from plants to lab-grown meat. 🌿🔬 eu1.hubs.ly/H0b-y8m0
The UK is investing large amounts in #alternativeproteins. Now, Innovate UK and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research have invested in a new National Alternative Protein Innovation Hub (NAPIC), which will explore #plantbased, #cultivatedmeat, and #precisionfermentation. foodnavigator.com/Article/2024/0…
We're co-leading a new £38 million research centre to help develop sustainable alternatives to animal plant proteins, alongside 120 partners including Quorn Foods UK and the Food Standards Agency 🎉 Find out more 👇 sheffield.ac.uk/news/helping-a…
This is good news for food security, the climate and economic growth. If we continue investing in alternative proteins like this, the UK industry could become the market leader by 2035, worth £6.8bn/yr with 25k new jobs. More on this in our report ➡️ green-alliance.org.uk/publication/ap…
📢📢 The National Alternative Protein Innovation Centre (#NAPIC) funded by Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research , Innovate UK and partners is hiring in a number of exciting #leadership roles across four organisations. Please RT: 1. CEO: jobs.leeds.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?r… 2. Operations Director: jobs.leeds.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?r…
Dr Olivia Pabois, Prof. Anwesha Sarkar and research collaborators have created a revolutionary eco-friendly, plant-based "super-lubricant". The material has groundbreaking potential for sustainable medical and engineering applications. Read more: environment.leeds.ac.uk/news/article/5…
Check out our paper "Self-assembly of sustainable plant protein protofilaments into a hydrogel for ultra-low #friction across length scales" published in Communications Materials INRAE European Research Council (ERC) King's College London Food Science and Nutrition at Leeds The Bragg Centre and Royce at Leeds doi.org/10.1038/s43246… Dr Arwen Tyler
Our latest paper w/ Prof. Anwesha Sarkar is available Communications Materials go.nature.com/3z19l5j. We used MD simulations to complement the expt. work done by Anwesha's group & others to investigate the origin of the lubrication properties of these plant-protein based lubricants. 1/2
Opting for alternative proteins (AP) is a small change we can make to protect our planet and climate 🌍 The National Alternative Protein Innovation Centre (NAPIC), dedicated to developing planet-friendly alternatives to animal protein, will be hosted by University of Leeds 🌱⬇️
Excited to have our fully packed Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) meeting Food Science and Nutrition at Leeds with lots of great work done over this year to what we will achieve in the years to come - unlimited opportunities for students for placements, research, amazing jobs across the globe 🎉🎉🙌🙌
