The Universities of Sussex and Surrey have been awarded a contract from the Department of Trade and Industry to set up a sharing technology project.
The Biotechnology Exploitation Platform (BEP) will exploit technology from both universities by licensing intellectual property, providing services for client companies, setting up trading units and forming new companies.
Sussex is the lead partner in the BEP and Dr Mike Shaw has been appointed to the role of biotechnology commercial-isation manager in the research services division.
He will be working on both campuses.
