R & D

Professor Dong Sung Kim of POSTECH, who led the research, explained the significance of the study: "Through these research outcomes, we not only accelerate organoid-based R&D that requires high reproducibility and reliability, but we also expect to make significant contributions to the development of animal alternative testing methods, which are gaining increasing attention. By addressing both the quality assurance and scalable production challenges of organoids with UniMat, we have laid the foundation for the practical application of organoids in clinical and pharmaceutical industries."

“The UK, they’re really strong in R&D projects, they’re really strong in inventing new things, but certainly if you want to move to commercialisation you need to go to the real factories,” says Ryan Chen, the new chief of operations at Alchemie, who has a background in textile manufacturing in Taiwan.

Companies can reduce their tax bill or claim payable cash credits as a proportion of their R&D expenditure.

It's a point picked up by AstraZeneca's vice president of data science and AI R&D, Jim Wetherall.
