Algal Innovation Centre (AIC), Cambridge

The Algal Innovation Centre (AIC) is a Centre for Excellence with test and scale-up facilities, connecting the entire pipeline of algal research from strain selection and improvement, through harvesting and processing, to development of underpinning technology and engineering solutions. The AIC's laboratory is a secure, research grade glasshouse on a sealed foundation with gross floor area of 164 square meters. It has laboratory grade benching, RO water supply environmental data collection, access to autoclaving, centrifugation and a wide range of algae reactors. The AIC also provides training courses for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. The AIC is now open for academic and industrial research collaborations and consultancy.
