A QinetiQ-led consortium has been awarded £2 million by the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA) to develop a range of nanomaterials to fight a broad spectrum of viruses.

 

QinetiQ Nanomaterials Limited (QNL), a wholly owned QinetiQ subsidiary, heads up Team AVNP (AntiViral NanoParticles), a consortium of six businesses and academic institutions based in the south east of England. The funding for the two-year programme is SEEDA’s largest single investment in science and technology to date.
