Applications are still open for the BBSRC-NC3Rs #ICUReExplore programme, delivered by The Helix Way! 🌟 For this round we are partnering with the National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs) to support projects that have the realistic possibility of replacing, reducing and/or refining the use of animals in research and testing. BBSRC and NC3Rs have previously collaborated on the use of non-animal technologies for advancing predictive biology and the current joint call is intended to build on this foundation and maximise the potential scientific, commercial and animal welfare impacts of 3Rs-focused research.

Repolywise and the Power of Innovation: Pioneering Solutions for the Global Plastic Waste Crisis 🌎 Repolywise have reached an exciting milestone! After a year of intense preparatory work, it's inspiring to see the vision for the "Atomic Scissors" technology begin to come to life. Supported by a £300K grant from Innovate UK through the ICURe programme, Repolywise is set to expand its research and development at Oxford University’s Begbroke Science Park. This critical funding, combined with their earlier £75k, will enable further validation and scaling of their technology. 📈 Dr. Bryan Ng, who participated in the ICURe Explore programme with Midlands Innovation in November 2023, and his incredible team at Repolywise deserve immense recognition for their breakthrough work. Their spinout from the University of Oxford exemplifies the entrepreneurial spirit driving academic research into impactful, real-world solutions. Their tireless efforts to develop innovations that address the plastic waste crisis are aligned with UKRI’s strategic theme of building a greener future, exemplifying the kind of innovation and forward-thinking we need to create a more sustainable world. 🌱 🎉 Congratulations to the entire team for this incredible achievement! We look forward to seeing you undertake the next stage in your mission to combat the plastic waste crisis.

🌍 Proud moment for the Repolywise team! 🚀 I'm thrilled to announce the next stage in our journey to tackle the global plastic waste crisis with our revolutionary 'Atomic Scissors' technology ✂️🔬. Thanks to the continued support from Innovate UK, we've secured funding to take our innovative hydrocracking process to the next level! Our work has the potential to change the way we think about plastic waste by breaking it down at the atomic level and transforming it into valuable raw materials. The impact on difficult-to-recycle plastics like polyethylene and polypropylene could be immense. ♻️ A big thank you to all our partners and the incredible Repolywise team esp Roland Lewis for their dedication and hard work – we couldn’t have come this far without you. I’m excited about what lies ahead!
