Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre
The Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre (MIB) houses a core grouping of researchers with complimentary strengths in the biological, engineering and physical sciences.
The £35 million building was completed in March 2006 and will eventually house more than 500 scientists in up to 85 research groups. The MIB has been specifically designed to foster a scientific culture in which there are no barriers between the disciplines, thus ensuring that the widest possible range of expertise and techniques can be brought to bear on important bioscience problems.
The building accommodates facilities for Microfabrication, Biomolecular Analysis, Biocomputing, Metabolomics, Proteomics, Chemical Synthesis, Robotics, Genomics and Single Molecule Research. The focus at the MIB is on promoting the highest standards in bioscience research, recognising the importance of technology development in modern biology and with an emphasis on quantitative and integrative approaches.
