KTP with Manchester Metropolitan University

Kirkstall have joined Manchester Metropolitan University to sponsor a Post Doc position within the university. They will be working to develop an off-the-shelf kit for safety tests in drug development and will start in autumn 2017.

This is continuing on from a previous collaboration with Manchester Metropolitan University and ELISHA Ltd, an Innovate UK funded proof-of-concept study: CVTox. During the project, we demonstrated the creation of a 3D tri-culture cardiovascular model and showed that we could use novel biosensors to detect physiologically relevant levels of biomarkers.

We are very excited to continue this collaboration, building on our existing work with Manchester Metropolitan University and hope that excellent results will follow.
