The University of Lincoln is one university that has recently signed our accession agreement to allow access to leading research in biofilms. Biofilms are important to a wide variety of Lincolnshire based industries including the agri-tech and food processing industries, healthcare and heritage studies where poor control of biofilms can be extremely costly both in time and money.
Dr Ron Dixon from Lincoln’s School of Life Sciences said,
“The recent accession agreement with NBIC offers researchers at the University of Lincoln new exciting research opportunities and funding to work with a world class consortium and industrial partners in laboratory-based science”.
If you’re an academic in a research institution or a commercial organisation with a desire to join our mission to achieve breakthroughs in biofilm innovation, please contact us at nbic@biofilms.ac.uk.
