This £50m programme aims to develop scalable processes that use proteins to template the assembly of inorganic and composite materials, with structures that currently cannot be mass manufactured. We invited proposals for TA1 from teams working across fields like – but not limited to – molecular biology, synthetic biology, materials science, bioinformatics, and engineering.
