Advanced Biomanufacturing Centre | University of Sheffield

The University of Sheffield has an unparalleled commitment to pioneer innovation in manufacturing technology via productive partnerships with industrial and academic groups - large and small, worldwide. You can harness our capability to research, innovate, design, develop, manufacture and learn. Our graduates and researchers are amongst the best available.

ABC at Sheffield is a translational knowledge-hub for biomanufacturing. We can work with you; from the fundamental bioscience to the engineered bioprocess. We aim to develop tools, technologies and processes that can really speed innovative new bioproducts to a commercial reality.

Interdisciplinary links are strong at The University of Sheffield and the ABC works closely with several other research centres.
