An Introduction to the Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council (BBSRC)

The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) is the UKʹs principal founder of basic and strategic biological research. To deliver its mission, BBSRC supports research and research training in universities and research centers throughout the UK, including BBSRC-sponsored institutes, and promotes knowledge transfer research to applications in business, industry and creates job vacancies in the biosciences. BBSRC, a non-departmental public body, is one of eight research councils supported through the Science Budget by the Department of Trade and Industry via the Office of Science and Technology. BBSRC works with partner Research Councils. BBSRC was established by Royal Charter in 1994 by incorporation of the former Agricultural and Food Research Council with the biotechnology and biological sciences programme of the former Science and Engineering Research Council. BBSRC invests around 336 million pounds per annum in the biosciences and funds research in some of the most exciting areas of contemporary science, including: Genomics, stem cell biology and bionanotechnology, that provide a basis for new technologies in healthcare, food safety, plant and livestock breeding, and bioprocessing. Whole organism biology relevant to our understanding of diet and health, ageing health and welfare, infectious diseases and immunity and crop productivity. Biological populations and systems that underpin agricultural sustainability, biodiversity and novel bio-based and renewable processes for energy and manufacturing.
