• Project Size : 250,000 - 1,000,000 €

We are looking for approaches to engineer and optimize organisms (microbial and plant) for production and/or purification of relevant biomolecules in a non-trial-and-error format. It is believed that starting from a waste stream will be a more cost-effective solution. We are also interested in plant- or algae-based solutions that are scalable and cost effective. What We Are Looking For: • Strain engineering approaches that achieve target molecule production targets across multiple molecule classes in significantly less time versus the industry average • Host engineering capabilities in non-model systems • Scale up platforms/methods that are amenable to commodity scale ingredients • Downstream processing methods/technologies that facilitate continuous extraction and/or re-use of extractive reagents • Approaches that leverage feedstocks separate from the food chain

Seeking kerbside recyclable alternative to our flexible plastic bags used in frozen food cooking for microwave usage

• ·
• Project Size : 0 - 50,000 €

As a global market leader in frozen foods, Nomad Foods is seeking to future-proof our packaging portfolio by identifying sustainable, kerbside-recyclable alternatives to our current flexible plastic bags. The solution must withstand continuous storage at -18°C and meet RecyClass RAM Grade A or B criteria, specifically optimized for the UK recycling infrastructure. We prioritize materials that can be integrated into existing manufacturing lines and are supported by case studies of successful market implementation. The ideal solution should be scalable across our global brand footprint.

Researchers at The University of Manitoba have identified an endogenous pathway that appears to play a key role in the development of MS pathogenesis and may allow for the development of novel markers for early diagnosis, disease prevention and personalized therapeutic approaches. Utilizing MS patient samples and a preclinical mouse model, researchers have discovered that a decline in the plasma levels of the signalling protein Nrg-1b1 is positively associated with MS development and progression, and could be potentially used as an early disease marker to help in MS diagnosis.
