Imagine a world where proteins are programmed like code — assembling themselves into advanced materials with properties far beyond what current manufacturing can achieve. This initiative is opening that frontier, driving innovation at the intersection of biology, engineering, and scalable production.
The opportunity focuses on solving the protein assembly challenge, developing programmable instruction sets, and building industrial-scale systems that can transform how materials are designed and produced. From multi-functional composites to advanced inorganic structures, the aim is to achieve technological superiority over existing methods while ensuring scalability and resilience.
Selected teams will work on highly iterative, adaptable platforms that integrate alignment processes, post-processing techniques, and in-house metrology. Collaboration across disciplines is encouraged, with priority given to approaches grounded in first-principles scalability.
💡 Total funding pool of £50 million, with up to £34 million distributed across creator teams over three years.
