Environmental Biotechnology Innovation Centre

Environmental Biotechnology Innovation Centre is a Cranfield University-led research partnership applying engineering biology to environmental monitoring, pollution removal and resource recovery.

Its programme develops engineered microorganisms, enzymes, biofilms and biosensors for challenges including PFAS contamination, microplastics and wastewater treatment.

Supported by UKRI and BBSRC funding, the centre coordinates research across UK universities and industrial partners. It also supports pilot-scale testing, regulatory research and training for environmental biotechnology applications.
