Whether it's through our opportunities for joint research, consultancy, access to our cutting-edge equipment or co-creation spaces, our collaborative partnerships put businesses and organisations at the forefront of innovation.
We provide partnership opportunities across our core strengths of disease-specific research, biomanufacturing and digital analytics and machine learning, helping to advance the biosciences and healthcare sectors.
Collaboration is the key to the success for the UK bioindustry and we see opportunities to work in partnership with the NHC to support the economic and green recovery by providing a highly-skilled workforce to the UK’s bioindustry.
We were given a unique opportunity to locate our company at the NHC, through their co-creation spaces, to conduct research in biomedical science and to provide the translational applications for our projects. From the very beginning we have found the centre’s infrastructure and its modern facilities truly excellent, ranging from purpose-built life science laboratories to world-class analytical equipment and bioinformatics. The unique opportunity to be co-located with world class academics has led to several successful collaborative research projects.
We have been astounded by the facilities within the NHC and the expertise offered through their staff. They have shown considerable ambition and commitment to develop future healthcare innovations. Our partnership will allow the DTVRA to support our clinical staff to explore new ideas using the NHC’s skills, expertise and facilities, and develop these ideas into successful grants and subsequent research projects.”
We work with both public and private sector partners across the biosciences and healthcare sector, including public health organisations, academic institutions, business start-ups, SMEs and multinationals. Below are some of the ways you can work with us.
We partner on collaborative research and development of innovative services, products and processes through routes including Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) funded projects and PhDs.
If you have a specific project in mind, we also undertake contract research, where we will work with you to agree the aims, expected outcomes and timescales of the project, tailoring everything to your unique requirements.
We provide access to our industry-leading expertise on a consultancy basis, offering new perspectives on business challenges, technical advice, problem solving and a greater understanding of advances in biosciences research.
Our co-creation spaces have been designed to give SMEs room to collaborate, innovate and grow. Much more than business incubation, licensing one of our spaces gives businesses direct access to our specialist expertise and state-of-the-art facilities.
We provide access to our full range of state-of-the-art facilities, high-tech equipment and cutting-edge technologies for those working in the biosciences and healthcare sector. Our facilities are available to hire for use by trained individuals or can be used to train staff.
We support the biosciences and healthcare sector in creating industry-ready graduates, delivering practical experience in a world-class research environment across a range of industry-relevant courses. We also partner with businesses on both student placements and recruitment opportunities.
Our continual professional development (CPD) courses are used to upskill today's biosciences and healthcare workforce. We also work closely with industry partners to create bespoke courses tailored to individual business requirements.
We are always happy to discuss tailored partnerships, so if you would like to speak to someone about working with the NHC, please contact Professor Vikki Rand at v.rand@tees.ac.uk.
