20 November 2024 The University of Manchester has received a $1.3 million donation from alumna Judith Sear to accelerate the University’s cancer research impact. The generous gift, which was made to the North American Foundation for The University of Manchester (NAFUM), will create the Sear Family Cancer Research Fund – a dedicated fund within the […]
19 November 2024 Written by: Romy Nicholson The Faculty of Biology Medicine and Health at The University of Manchester has been awarded a major new Doctoral Landscape Award from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) to fund PhD training in the biosciences. The NorthWest Doctoral Programme in Biosciences (NWD) unites the strengths of the Universities of Manchester and
5 November 2024 Researchers have found a new way to use biocatalysis to improve the production of critical raw materials required for essential drugs, making the process quicker, more efficient, and environmentally friendly. Biocatalysis is a process that uses enzymes as natural catalysts to carry out chemical reactions. Scientists at The University of Manchester and
Enzyme engineering has the potential to drive green, more efficient drug manufacturing Read More »
4 November 2024 Manchester scientists and clinicians have been awarded a major cash boost to fund pioneering radiotherapy research which uses artificial intelligence to help save lives. Cancer Research UK is investing a total of £5.9 million to develop new radiotherapy technologies and techniques over the next five years. In close collaboration with The Christie, the

29 October 2024 The University of Manchester is teaming up with Vernacare to revolutionise the use of single-use plastics in healthcare. Plastics play a crucial role in healthcare, but the current linear model of using and then incinerating leads to significant waste and environmental harm. Through a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP), materials experts at Manchester
9 October 2024 Alzheimer’s disease and glioblastoma are two of the most devastating and challenging brain disorders we can face. There’s not currently a cure for either. Yet they also have a surprising connection. Emerging epidemiological studies suggest that people who have one of these conditions, seem to experience a reduction in the chance of

2 October 2024 Today, the BBSRC announced that researchers at The University of Manchester have been awarded £2 million as part of the Global Centre Bioeconomy grant, an $82 million initiative led by the National Science Foundation in the US. The Centre for Innovative Recycling and Circular Economy (CIRCLE) UK team will be led by
26 September 2024 The M4 wave energy converter, developed by Professor Peter Stansby at The University of Manchester, has been successfully launched in Albany, Australia. The device is designed to harness the power of ocean waves to generate electricity, and the project represents a significant step forward for renewable energy technology. The Albany M4 project,
16 September 2024 Scientists from The University of Manchester and the University of Warwick have developed a cutting-edge computational framework that enhances the safe freezing of medicines and vaccines. Treatments such as vaccines, fertility materials, blood donations, and cancer therapies often require rapid freezing to maintain their effectiveness. The molecules used in this process, known
13 September 2024 Scientists have found a way to create artificial sugars that could lead to better ways to diagnose and treat diseases more accurately than ever before. Sugars play a crucial role in human health and disease, far beyond being just an energy source. Complex sugars called glycans coat all our cells and are
Scientists develop artificial sugars to enhance disease diagnosis and treatment accuracy Read More »
