Northern Way Growth Fund has awarded researchers at Sheffield University £2m to invest in the Molecular Engineering Translational Research Centre (METRC) funded by the N8 Research Partnership.

The METRC uses molecular engineering and nanotechnology to develop new products.

As the largest research pooling partnership ever undertaken in the UK, the N8 believes the new centre will improve its research capacity and improve the country’s economic standing.

The centre, led by Professor Tony Ryan OBE pro-vice-chancellor for the Faculty of Pure Science at Sheffield University, hopes to advance technology past the concept phase to commercial products for use in everyday life.

Researchers will collaborate with businesses to combine expertise in new products, processes and services.

Research will be focused on market sectors such as home and personal care, medicine and healthcare and energy.
