CellVoyant secures £7.6 million AI stem cell boost

CellVoyant – an AI biotechnology spin-out from the University of Bristol – has announced a £7.6 million funding round. Led by Octopus Ventures – with additional participation from Horizons Ventures, Air Street Capital and Verve Ventures – the funding represents the first stage in commercialising CellVoyant’s first of its kind AI and imaging platforms. Meanwhile, the company now aims to enable the rapid development of novel cell therapies. Stem cells unlock a wide range of treatment possibilities that have not historically been available to patients. Indeed, current treatments tend to act on the body’s existing cells, while stem cells have the potential to develop into different cell types in the body – replacing dysfunctional cells or regenerating damaged tissues and organs. CellVoyant’s platform combines advanced AI with live cell imaging to address pain points. The technology can extract spatial and temporal information in real-time from hundreds of millions of cells. ...

Aston University receives £10m for membrane institute

Aston University is on course to create the Aston Institute for Membrane Excellence (AIME) – a cross-disciplinary facility to develop novel biomimetic membranes – having received £10m from Research England. The institute will be led by Professor Roslyn Bill, from the School of Biosciences, along with Professor Paul Topham from the department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry. Both biological and synthetic membranes are significant across several many sectors. Indeed, the world’s top ten selling human medicines all target proteins in biological membranes, while synthetic polymer membranes are commonly used in the water purification industry. The AIME believes that the full potential of membranes will only be realised by an interdisciplinary group which spans biology, physics and chemistry and that can investigate membranes holistically. Professor Bill, a European Research Council (ERC) Advanced grantee leads Aston Membrane Proteins and Lipids (AMPL) research centre of excellence that studies the structure and function ...
