Alongside Sophie Vaud from Colorifix, Ruth Faram from SymphoRNA and Dara Henry from Prokarium, Russ shared his tips and tricks to scale industrial biotechnology in the UK. It was a lively discussion, with some great questions from an engaged and passionate audience.
The big focus from Russ: we need access to more downstream processing facilities that can help businesses at all stages of their journey, from processing grams, to kilograms to tonnes. To get products to customers, you need to be able to iterate quickly, and with only a few facilities available, innovators are looking outside of the UK for solutions.
With thanks to the BIA team for organising!
