Engineering Biology in Cambridge

 

Relevant funding opportunities for researchers in engineering and synthetic biology

NEW! The EngBio ECR (events) Fund (apply by 4 December 2023)

The EngBio supports postgrads (master’s and PhD students) and postdocs within the University of Cambridge Synthetic and Engineering Biology community to develop their own research skills, enable collaborations with different stakeholders and foster their interdisciplinary, cross-departmental and cross-school events.

We are pleased to fund any event connected to achieving at least one of these aims. Awards will range between £250-£750. We highly encourage you to develop collaborative proposals.

Any questions, feel free to email coordinator@engbio.cam.ac.uk. Download form below.
