A new £25 million facility dedicated to finding new treatments for diseases such as HIV and cancer was launched at The University of Manchester today. The Core Technology Facility (CTF) labs are already looking at ways to grow replacement tissue, such as veins and arteries, and even whole organs that could one day be transplanted into patients suffering from conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. The CTF will provide specialist accommodation for biotech companies as well as academic staff from the university's Faculties of Life Sciences and Medical and Human Sciences. The facility will encourage commercial exploitation of these university research activities by providing integrated space in which young businesses can work alongside University research groups. The CTF is being launched by The University of Manchester Incubator Company Limited (UMIC), which manages a portfolio of business incubators on behalf of the university http://www.e4engineering.com/Articles/294912/Manchester%20facility% 20boosts%20biotechnology.htm ------------------------ Yahoo!
