Research contract agreed with KAU

Bio Nano Consulting (BNC), world-leading technology solution-providers and strategic consultants working in a range of high-technology sectors, is pleased to announce that it has signed a contract with a major research institution in the Middle East for two collaborative research projects in the field of environmental nanotechnology. The agreement, worth £1 million over two years for BNC and its London partners, is the second major collaboration with this organisation and will utilise the expertise of Imperial College, University College London and the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN), on two important projects looking at the applications of nanotechnology to environmental issues. The aim of each project will be to develop new classes of multifunctional nanomaterials that can pave the way for more sustainable and energy-efficient processes.These projects will extend the excellent working relationship that was established during the initial research collaboration with researchers from the Chemistry Department at King Abdulaziz University (KAU), in which BNC has provided extensive knowledge of nano structure synthesis and development of novel materials, to complement the in-house catalysis and characterisation expertise of its collaborators from KAU. This partnership will enable the exchange of ideas and personnel, with scientific investigators carrying out their research in both the UK and Saudi Arabia, in order to develop and transfer knowledge, technologies and research best-practice between the groups involved.About Bio Nano Consulting Bio Nano Consulting is a joint venture of Imperial College London and University College London that specialises in delivering innovative solutions to industry across the life sciences and technology sectors.
