Welcome

Welcome to the Bionow Life Sciences and Healthcare Directory which showcases the sector in the North of England.

In bringing this publication together we demonstrate that the North of England has the breadth of business, depth of expertise and investment in specialist infrastructure that rivals anything that any other UK region can offer.

Stretching from the Northwest across Yorkshire and to the Northeast, the close associations, shared history and pragmatism common to all businesses and organisations in the North make the area ideal for developing knowledge and growing business.

The Bionow Life Science and Healthcare Directory showcases the North as the exciting, industrious and forward-looking area that it is and makes it easier for companies and individuals to make the North their first choice for business. We hope that in consulting the Directory you will identify partners, resources, customers and suppliers across the North and through this process will come to realise that there’s not much that can’t be done in the North of England!

Please take a few minutes to read the editorial articles which set the scene, meet the Bionow team and also explore the benefits of membership. Under not-for-profit principles Bionow has built upon historical life science support mechanisms, preserving the key knowledge and connectivity while building a wide range of new business support services to deliver tangible value to our community of companies and organisations.

With around 1000 life science and healthcare companies, a combined turnover of £10.9bn, employment of 38,000, the NHSA and N8 Research Partnership, the North boasts worldleading resources in terms of investment, scientific expertise, academic research, science graduates, NHS hospitals and state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities – all of this makes the North a great place to locate and grow your business.

We are delighted to present the Bionow Life Science and Healthcare Directory,

With our kind regards Geoff & John

In the following pages you will find information on the wealth of life science and healthcare organisations categorised into sub-sectors according to their core product or service offering.

This is followed by listings of the specialist supply chain segmented into four broad areas and a ready source of local suppliers which will be of interest to your procurement functions. The final section presents the specialist property and academic research base across the North. There is a lot to read, so to make it easier we have invested in the development of a searchable online Directory on our exciting Bionow B2B platform which can be accessed from www.bionow.co.uk.

The North of England is home to a vibrant and growing biomedical and life sciences sector The North represents a significant powerhouse of life science capability, with over 1000 businesses generating a gross value added of £10.9 billion and supporting 38000 highly skilled jobs.

The North is home to close to 25 percent of the UK biomedical and life sciences sector as measured by numbers of companies, employment and turnover, and makes a pivotal contribution to the UK through its distinctive strengths in key areas.

The ‘golden triangle’ of Oxford, Cambridge and London with its excellence in discovery and early stage innovation, is fully complemented by the Northern strengths in development and manufacturing capability. The North exports over £8.1 billion of medicinal and pharmaceutical products – which, annually represents 47 per cent of all classified UK exports with a balance of trade of £4.7 billion.

Across the North there are large pockets of deep specialism, with particular areas of strength in industrial biotechnology, biologics (antibodies, therapeutic proteins and vaccines), small molecule therapeutics, wound care, orthopaedics and specialist services including contract research and contract manufacturing.

Importantly there is also the full spectrum of capabilities which enable and facilitate the effective translation of ideas through discovery, development, testing and regulation, design and manufacture and into patients.

The research strength within the North’s University base is world-class and acts as both an anchor and attractor for larger indigenous and foreign companies which are dependent on leading-edge research and innovation.

The N8 partnership between the leading research-intensive universities in the North and initiatives such as the Northern Health Science Alliance, multiply the impact of these worldleading institutions in the health arena.

The volume, breadth and maturity of the biomedical sector in the North of England has been recognised by international companies who supply products and services into the global sector. Among others, companies supplying bio-analytical equipment, specialist contract services and laboratory supplies have chosen to locate and inwardly invest in the North in preference to other locations in the UK or Europe. Recent examples include Actavis, Fujifilm Diosynth, Hematogenix,

Gen-Probe (now Hologic), MedImmune, Qiagen, ThermoFisher, Waters, Alere and GSK. However there is still much to do to capitalise and build on the strengths of the North and its importance within the wider UK context.

Bionow is working with other organisations to connect the sector and to build influence at a national level. United Life Sciences (ULS) is a strategic partnership representing over 1000 life sciences and healthcare organisations across the UK and internationally.

The partnership was formed in 2014 by four founding partners: the BioIndustry Association, Bionow, BioPartner and One Nucleus.

ULS recently published the UK Life Science manifesto 2015-2020, aimed at all political parties, setting out the policy recommendations for the next parliament that ULS and its members believe are fundamental to the health and wealth of the UK. Dr Geoff Davison, CEO, Bionow

Corporate Patron and Sponsors We are very grateful for the support of our Corporate Patron and University Sponsors. The research strength within the northern University base is world-class and a major source of global competitive advantage. Some brief highlights are included here.

Corporate Patron:

Our focus is on developing new medicines that make a meaningful difference to patients’ lives, and the UK is right at the heart of our efforts to do that.

In our 50th anniversary year Lancaster University consolidated a world class reputation as a centre for excellence in teaching, scholarship and research.

AstraZeneca is a major contributor to UK science and innovation investment, economic prosperity and to patient health.

Research within the faculty of health and medicine is organised around six main themes: ageing, biostatistics and epidemiology, cancer, infectious disease, mental health and public health.

Our commitment to making a meaningful difference to patient health is founded on innovative science. In a rapidly changing world, we are transforming the way – and where – we work to make the most of the opportunities that new sciences and technologies bring to the search for new medicines.

University Sponsors:

Our research addresses major global problems including food security, climate change, healthy aging and control of disease with our academics underpinning these areas with expertise in 'Biotic and abiotic stress, signalling and environmental adaptation', 'Cell structure, function and development' and 'Human health and disease' The Biophysical Sciences Institute is a community of interdisciplinary academics, researchers and students who have research interests at the boundary between the life sciences and the other sciences including physics, chemistry and psychology, as well as mathematics and engineering.

The development by University of Leeds researchers of acellular biological scaffolds to repair and replace human tissue has been a major advance in regenerative medicine.

The University of Manchester’s medical research ranges from understanding the molecular and cellular basis of cancer to the development and testing of novel drugs and other therapeutic approaches.

Through the Manchester Cancer Research Centre we work with Cancer Research UK and The Christie NHS Foundation Trust to turn research findings in the laboratory into better, more effective, treatments for cancer patients.

Newcastle Biomedicine is at the forefront of the Translational Medicine revolution. Its principal aim is to translate scientific advances made in the Faculties at Newcastle University into direct benefits for patients being treated in our partner NHS Trusts.

Key advantages of the technique include its proven clinical effectiveness, relatively short development times and lower cost compared to cell and molecular-level therapies. NHS Blood and Transplant Tissue Services has led the introduction of acellular biological scaffolds using human tissue in the UK.

This strategy has already led to major advances in the healthcare of patients within the region, as well as nationally and internationally.

Liverpool aims to develop new treatments and methods of care to create a personalised approach to health care, aimed at maximising the efficacy of treatment in a cost effective manner and improving patient quality of life.

Sunderland's Pharmacy School, established in 1921, is a passport to a first class career in pharmacy.

Research strengths at Liverpool include work in infection, from research into understanding the molecular biology of pathogens, through to improved diagnosis, treatment and prevention of globally significant diseases.

With word-leading research taking place in new £8.5 million state-of-the-art laboratories, it is no surprise that the University of Sunderland has one of the most highly regarded Pharmacy Schools in the UK.

Dr. Adrian Moore Department of Pharmacy, Health and Well-being Faculty of Applied Sciences University of Sunderland, Dale Building, Room 1.03 Sciences Complex, Wharncliffe Street, Sunderland, SR1 3SD T: +44 (0) 191 515 2554 F: + 44 (0) 191 515 3405 E: adrian.moore@sunderland.ac.uk W: http://www.sunderland.ac.uk/ The University of Sunderland is the longest serving provider of undergraduate Pharmacy in the North-East and is the sole regional provider of BSc Healthcare Sciences programmes. The portfolio of programmes offered by the Department of Pharmacy and Health and Well-being also includes BSc Biopharmaceutical Science and BSc Physiological Science.

At postgraduate levels, we offer MSc Public Health, MSc Drug Discovery and Development, MSc Pharmaceutical and Biopharmaceutical Formulation and an Overseas Pharmacists Assessment Programme.

Our teaching and research makes extensive use of a modern laboratory infrastructure within the Sciences Complex, with facilities that meet the needs of the modern day student and our business partners. Our research is carried out by multi-disciplinary teams with expertise that spans the fundamental and applied sciences through to primary care disciplines.

Laboratory-based science research integrates strongly with our taught programmes, with specific expertise in cancer and other proliferative disease, signalling pathways and networks, immunology, molecular biology and microbiology, drug design, synthesis and initial in vitro evaluation, pharmaceutics (including bio-pharmaceutics) and pharmaceutical analysis. The recent addition of a Point of Care Centre for training and development, along with related staff appointments, offers additional research opportunities, supported by a further £5.3m strategic investment in science and clinical practice infrastructure. Professor Sue Hill, Chief Scientific Officer, England said of the recently opened Point of Care Centre ‘What you’re seeing in this Centre are advances in bio-nanotechnology bringing smaller devices that can measure what we expect them to measure closer to where patients are, which can have enormous benefits.’

Informed by collaborative links with local and regional hospitals, our biomedical research focuses on the pathology of disease related to clinical observations and problems, while pharmaceutical science is applied to the design and development of new medicines and delivery methods, and translated into practice and products through industrial collaborations. Through our knowledge transfer partnerships (KTPs), we provide practical solutions to a range of commercially-focused problems, not only for regional industry, but across the UK.

Collaboration the key to success The life sciences industry is operating in an increasingly competitive environment with pressures angled up and down the value chain; sluggish R&D productivity; patent expiries; tightening regulation; pricing pressures and changing customer demands.

Others are hitting the more traditional M&A trail. Locally in the North, early 2015 has seen clinical trials firm Synexus undergo a secondary buy-out. Premaitha Health completed a £10.5m reverse takeover, commencement of trading on AIM and raised £7.2m.

But while M&A is a key plank of any inorganic growth strategy for companies across the biotech and life sciences sector, so too are tieups with other corporates in the industry – RedX Pharma’s transformational agreement with AstraZeneca to collaborate on groundbreaking cancer research being a fine example of such a partnership right here in the North.

Access to quality research and science facilities can also dramatically improve your chance of progress. The N8 partnership between the leading research-intensive universities and Phil Roper, KPMG Life Sciences initiatives such as the Northern Health Science practice in the North Alliance leverage the impact of the North’s world-class University base. Ultimately, collaboration such as this is vital – particularly Meanwhile, the healthcare landscape is also if we are to truly harness the increasing move undergoing a period of unprecedented pace of change, with pressure driven by a number of by pharmaceutical companies to put the patient factors including ageing populations, greater at the heart of their business models and create patient expectations and unhealthy lifestyles. truly personalised medicines.

One of the key questions is how to drive growth in a recovering, yet still fragile environment. We are seeing an enormous amount of activity across the marketplace as companies try to reorganise their business models to adapt to the changing healthcare landscape and technological evolution reflected in the large amount of transactional activity that we have seen over the last 12 months. 2014 was undoubtedly the year of the biotech IPO, with big sums being raised both here and overseas.

However, while the floatation route has proven fruitful for some, the fact remains that financing for life sciences remains more difficult in the UK and the rest of Europe compared with the US. As a result, some companies across the sector have turned to crowdfunding to tap into communities of potential investors – for instance, Welsh biotech company Cell Therapy which earlier this year staked a UK record for crowdfunding in the sector after raising almost £700,000 to accelerate development of a cardiovascular drug.

12

Patients have changed over the last 20 years and are now much more involved in their own care, with recent research suggesting as many as 80 percent go online to research their condition and treatment before visiting a doctor.

Such empowerment is growing and indeed, it is our view that the life sciences industry needs to switch from a product push to a much more service-orientated, patient-centred model.

Big data and other innovative technologies to collect information have the potential to transform life sciences and healthcare over the next decade. We simply cannot deliver the benefits of personalised healthcare or understand the value of treatments without better data. Getting it right will be critical to achieving the step change we need in patient outcomes without breaking the budget and again collaboration and knowledge-sharing between companies, academic institutions and healthcare providers will be key to success.

By aligning our capabilities in a co-ordinated and collaborative manner with a dedicated healthcare system, an established high-tech manufacturing industry and a skilled professional services industry, the ingredients are there for an incredibly successful life sciences sector.

The 2015 Conference is taking place on Wednesday 30th September at Alderley Park Conference Centre, Cheshire, UK. www.bionow.co.uk/events/2015biocapconference

BioInfect Conference Setting the global anti-microbial agenda A major one day conference looking at the critical issues relating to the development of new anti-infectives and the endemic problem of resistance. The conference will again convene scientists, policy makers and government officials from across the world to drive forward and establish the global antimicrobial agenda.

The development of antibiotics has been vital to our survival, yet the rise of antimicrobial resistance is threatening to make them

ineffective in the future. The World Health Organisation estimates that antibiotic treatments add an average of 20 years to all of our lives. But in the 80 years since the discovery of penicillin, our overuse of antibiotics has put pressure on bacteria to evolve resistance, leading to the emergence of untreatable superbugs that threaten the basis of modern medicine.

BioInfect 2015 follows on from two previous very successful conferences, where Professor

Dame Sally Davies, Chief Medical Officer and Professor John Watson, Deputy Chief Medical Officer noted that "the golden age" of effective antibiotics has come to an end and informed delegates of the progress which the UK is making in the fight against this deadly threat.

We are delighted that Jim O’Neill will be giving the Keynote Address at the 2015 BioInfect Conference. Jim commenced Chairing a Review on Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR) in October 2014.

The 2015 Conference is taking place on: Tuesday 10th November at Alderley Park Conference Centre, Cheshire, UK www.bionow.co.uk/events/2015bioinfectconference

Co Angel Investment

We’re lawyers that ‘can do’ in every sense of those words; our work extends way beyond being a large independent firm operating in most areas of law.

Brewin Dolphin is one of the UK’s leading providers of personalised, discretionary wealth management services, offering investment management and financial planning services to meet the needs of investors and intermediaries.

C&C Insurance Brokers Ltd are a large independent insurance intermediary with direct access to the world’s leading Life Science underwriters. We recognise that Biotech and Life Science companies require specialised insurance programmes covering areas such as human clinical trials, loss of R&D investment and products liability. Our expert advice can assist you in identifying, planning for and managing the risks your business faces

Worldwide, Chubb Insurance has pioneered life science insurance programmes for decades. We insure 63% of Europe's leading biotech companies. Our policies often provide covers that others don't e.g. privacy, contractual liability and reputational injury. Our global automated trial certification system provides instant issuance of trial certificates in 25 countries. It reduces a client's administration and the potential for expensive delays.

We have specialist life science underwriters, loss control engineers and claims handlers who manage local or multinational programmes.

Where can ambitious start-up and early stage businesses find the funding they need to grow? What if there was an organisation purpose-designed to bring innovative entrepreneurs together with sector specific syndicates of business angels? What if this same organisation provided investment management and support, not just now, but also in the long term? Meet Co Angel Investment, a unique, not for profit organisation here in the North West, founded to fill the funding gap.

Specialist Property Newcastle University Medical School - Incubator Facilities Newcastle Biomedicine runs two laboratory incubator facilities for early-stage bio-technology and life sciences companies. The facilities come equipped with basic laboratory and office space and some shared communal space (such as kitchen and networking space).

The two facilities are designed to allow commercial organisations to interact closely with university academics, providing access (at commercial rates) to specialist facilities, whilst maintaining a clear separation from university labs.

The labs in the William Leech Building (at the main Medical School) are designed for smaller, earlier-stage companies, with most companies being 2-5 staff in size; whilst those provided in university space at the Centre for Life are slightly larger and are more likely to be used by slightly more mature companies (although this differentiation is not rigidly enforced). http://www.ncl.ac.uk/biomedicine/business/commercialisation/incubat or.htm The Business Innovation Facility, based at the Campus for Ageing and Vitality, offers purpose-built offices of varying size, along with communal networking, meeting and kitchen spaces.

proteins whose production they simulate.

Study performed on humans to determine the safety and efficacy of new drugs or therapies.

Typically, clinical trials are divided into three (and sometimes four) phases: phase I trials evaluate the safety of the drug; phase II trials determine the optimum efficacy and dosage of the drug; and phase III trials (the largest phase in terms of number of patients) determine the clinical efficacy of the drug.

Sometimes a phase IV (post-approval) trial is also pursued, where the long-term effects of the drug are monitored on those receiving prescriptions. Clinical trials are the longest and most expensive part of the process of creating a new drug, typically costing £50-150 million and taking up to 10 years.

A substance that can trigger an immune response, resulting in production of an antibody as part of the body’s defence against infection and disease. Many antigens are foreign proteins.

Apoptosis Programmed cell death which occurs in normally functioning human and animal cells when age or state of cell health and condition dictates. A controlled sequence of events leads to the elimination of cells without releasing harmful substances into the surrounding area. Many types of cell damage can trigger apoptosis, and it also occurs normally during development of the nervous system and other parts of the body. Where mutations cause malfunctions in the apoptotic pathway, uncontrolled cell growth may proceed unchecked and cancer may result.

Chromosome One of the threadlike “packages” of genes and other DNA in the nucleus of a cell.

Different kinds of organisms have different numbers of chromosomes. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, 46 in all: 44 autosomes and two sex chromosomes. Each parent contributes one chromosome to each pair, so children get half of their chromosomes from their mothers and half from their fathers.

www.bionow.co.uk

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) The chemical, which in most organisms contains the genetic code. DNA is made up of four sub-units (referred to as bases) called adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine - A, G, C, T. The DNA molecule is made up of two strands winding around each other – the double helix, A always pairs with T, and C with G.

Glossary

Drug Any molecule that affects a biological process. More strictly, a molecule whose pharmacological activity can be correlated with its chemical structure.

Electrophoresis The use of electrical fields to separate charged biomolecules such as DNA, RNA and proteins.

Enzyme A protein that catalyses chemical reactions in living cells. Enzymes are protein molecules whose function it is to speed the making and breaking of chemical bonds required for essential physiochemical reactions.

Fermentation Strictly speaking, this refers to the growth of micro-organisms in the absence of air, traditionally used for the production of beer, wine and leavened products such as bread.

The term is now used to cover the growth of micro-organisms in liquid under a wide range of conditions.

Functional genomics The use of genetic technology to determine the function of newly discovered genes by determining their role in one or more model organisms.

Gene A section of DNA which codes for a defined biochemical function (such as the production of a particular protein). The number of genes varies from species to species; humans contain about 30,000 genes.

Gene mapping Determining the relative positions of genes on a chromosome and the distance between them.

therapeutic in several ways: It can make a protein that was defective or missing in the patient’s cells (as would be the case for a genetic disorder), or one which will correct or modify a particular cellular function, or a protein that elicits an immune response. In gene therapy approaches, the genetic material may be introduced into the patient in several different ways. It can be directly injected for some applications in a process known as genetic vaccination, or it can be introduced by using bioengineered viruses that will carry the therapeutic gene as part of their own genetic cargo and deliver it into the cell.

Genome The total set of genes in an organism or species. The human genome consists of about 3 billion DNA bases coding for about 30,000 genes, packaged in 23 pairs of chromosomes.

Genomics The study of the genetic material of an organism. A draft sequence of the human genome has been produced and is being studied for variances and gaps.

Genotype The genetic identity of an individual that does not show as outward characteristics.

High-throughput screening An approach for finding new drugs which looks for chemicals that act on a particular enzyme or molecule. For example, if a chemical inactivates an enzyme it might prove to be effective in preventing a process in a cell which causes a disease. High throughput methods enable researchers to try out thousands of different chemicals against each target very quickly using robotic handling systems and automated analysis of results.

Gene therapy The use of genetic material for therapeutic purposes. This genetic material can be in the form of a gene, a representative of a gene or cDNA, RNA or even a small fragment of a gene. The introduced genetic material can be

Histocompatibility The ability of different tissues to “get along”; strictly, identity in all of the transplantation proteins, which is a requirement for the prevention of graft or organ rejection.

Human genome project An international research project to map each human gene and to completely sequence human DNA.

Hybridisation The interaction of complementary nucleic acid strands. Since DNA is a double-stranded structure held together by complementary interactions (in which C always binds to G, and A to T), complementary strands favourably reanneal or “hybridise” to each other when separated.

Immunotherapy The use of immune-based reagents such as T cells and antibodies for therapeutic purposes, or the use of methods that will modify a patient’s immune system to better fight disease. Under normal circumstances the immune system will eradicate an infectious agent using antibodies and T cells as its main weapons.

In vitro Literally ‘in glass’, this means living processes outside a living system (eg in vitro fertilisation).

In vivo ‘In life’ this means processes inside a living system.

Intellectual property rights (IPR) Patents, copyrights and trademarks.

Glossary

Metabolomics

Mutation

Pathogen

Metabonomics at the level of a single cell type, rather than a larger system.

Any alteration to DNA that can potentially result in a change in the function of one or more genes. Mutations can be a change in a single base of DNA (point mutation) or a loss of base pairs (deletion) affecting a single gene, or a movement of chromosomal regions (translocation) affecting many genes.

Any foreign agent or organism that is harmful to the body. Typically, pathogens are microscopic organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites such as worms. In each case, the infecting organism uses the host body to live and grow, and is often restricted to a particular organ. Sometimes this affects normal cellular functions, leading to illness. Some bacteria also secrete proteins that are toxic for the host, leading to mild effects such as diarrhoea, or to fatal effects.

Pathogens exhibit a unique set of proteins, which allow them to infect and grow in their hosts; these proteins are the target of therapeutic intervention.

Metabonomics Measurement of the complete metabolic response of an organism to an environmental stimulus or genetic modification. Also see Metabolomics.

New chemical entities (NCEs) Microarrays Small, spatially addressable arrays of biological material (on an inert substrate) that can be tested for specific functional criteria.

The biological material could be DNA fragments probed for hybridization to a known sequence of DNA or RNA (useful for sequencing, expression studies, diagnostics); or proteins or peptides which can be analyzed to obtain structure/function information. Other uses of microarrays include the screening of large numbers of molecules for their capacity to bind a particular target protein.

New candidate drug molecules that are advanced into preclinical testing by the research arm of a drug discovery company or organization.

Nucleoside A nucleotide without the phosphate group.

Nucleotide One of the structural components, or building blocks, of DNA and RNA. A nucleotide consists of a base (one of four chemicals: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine) plus a molecule of sugar and one of phosphate.

Microfluidics The miniaturization of fluid-based biochemistry to very small volumes such that a large series of chemical reactions can be performed in parallel in a microarray format (see Microarray).

Oligonucleotide A short sequence of single-stranded DNA or RNA. ‘Oligos’ are often used as probes for detecting complementary DNA or RNA because they bind readily to their complements.

Micro-organism Usually single celled organisms, which are so small that they can only be seen under the microscope. They include bacteria, yeasts, moulds and simple animals and plants.

Monoclonal antibodies (MAb) Made by growing large numbers of a single lymphocyte producing a specific antibody.

The antibodies produced are therefore all the same and they will bind to just one specific antigen. This makes them very useful as a means of identifying proteins. Monoclonal antibodies are used in diagnostics and in purifying useful cell proteins from mixtures.

They are being developed to deliver medicines to specific cells in the body (e.g. for cancer treatment).

264

Oncogene A gene whose protein product causes uncontrolled cell growth (cancer). Normal cells divide under a very specific program called the cell cycle that is controlled by many genes. Oncogenes are sometimes produced as a result of a mutation in one or more of these genes. The mutation results in a malfunctional protein, which cannot perform its normal task to regulate cell growth or actually induces uncontrolled cell growth.

Open reading frame An open reading frame (ORF) is a portion of a gene’s sequence that contains a sequence of bases, uninterrupted by stop sequences, that could potentially encode a protein.

www.bionow.co.uk

PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) A technique used to “amplify” (or generate large amounts) of DNA. The technique uses cycles of heat to break apart the DNA strands, cooling to allow primers to bind, and heating again to allow enzyme to copy the intervening sequence, leading to a doubling of DNA at each cycle.

Pharmacogenomics Pharmacogenomics is the study of the pharmacological response to a drug by a population based on the genetic variation of that population. It has long been known that different individuals in a population respond to the same drug differently, and that these variations are due to variations in the molecular receptors being affected by the drug, or to differences in metabolic enzymes that clear the drug. Pharmacogenomics is the science of studying these variations at the molecular level.

Pharmacology Study of the interaction of chemical agents with biological systems, in particular the properties and reactions of drugs especially with relation to their therapeutic value.

Toxicology is the science that investigates the adverse effects of chemicals on health.

Glossary

Phenotype

RNA (ribonucleic acid)

The observable traits or characteristics of an organism, for example hair colour, weight, or the presence or absence of a disease.

Phenotypic traits are not necessarily genetic. (compare with genotype)

A category of nucleic acids which along with DNA forms the genetic material of a cell. While DNA stores the genetic information in the nucleus of every cell, RNA is a “carrier” of this information from DNA to other parts of the cell where the message is converted to protein.

Polyclonal antibody A mixture of antibodies of different specificities, which target a specific antigen (e.g. extracted from the serum of a person immunized to an antigen).

Proteins Proteins are one of the products that genes code for. They are made of chains of amino acids folded into complex three-dimensional structures. It is this structure that helps determine their function.

Proteomics The study of gene activity by looking for the entire range of proteins which are produced by a particular gene, genome or cell.

Rational drug design The systematic design of new drug molecules using the three-dimensional structure of the drug target as a starting point.

Receptor A molecule (usually a protein) that spans a cell membrane and “receives” extracellular signals and transmits them into the cell. In pharmacology, a receptor is, more generically, any molecule that is a target for a drug. Thus a receptor may be a protein, enzyme, membrane channel, or a region of a foreign pathogen.

Sequencing The delineation (or “reading”) of the repeating units of DNA, RNA or proteins. DNA, RNA and proteins contain repeating units (4 bases for DNA and RNA, and around 20 amino acids for proteins).

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) pronounced “Snip” A difference of a single base in the sequence of a gene, which alters the structure and function of the gene product. These differences occur naturally in any population, and help to account for differences between individuals e.g. a SNP can mean a minor change in the primary structure of protein, but this in turn can have a more significant effect on the protein’s three-dimensional structure, leading to possible changes in the protein’s function. SNP are being investigated to gain greater insights into the basis for disease and to help develop more effective tailor-made treatments.

Stem cell An undifferentiated active cell that undergoes division and gives rise to other stem cells or to cells that differentiate to form specialized cells. i.e. a cell that hasn’t decided what it wants to be when it grows up. These are a focus for research in tissue engineering as they can potentially be used to grow a new liver or kidney, etc for a patient.

Recombinant-DNA technology

Tissue engineering

Also known as (genetic engineering). The set of techniques that enables DNA from different sources to be identified, isolated, and recombined so that new characteristics can be introduced into an organism. An organism which has been changed by the introduction of recombinant DNA is known as a genetically modified organism (GMO).

Technology combining engineering of cells with chemical engineering to create artificial organs and tissues such as skin, bone, heart valves, and cartilage for joints. For example, bone growth factors or stem cells can be grown within a porous material (cut to shape) to create new jaws or limbs. In a second example, new miniorgans can be created;

Islet cells that produce insulin have been purified from pigs and encapsulated in a special membrane before introduction into the abdomen of diabetic patients.

Transcription The “copying” of a gene’s protein code in the nucleus into an intermediary form (messenger or mRNA) which can be transported to the cellular site of protein synthesis for translation.

Transgenic animals An organism that is engineered to carry a foreign gene, or transgene of choice, as part of its own genetic material. Using this method an animal can be produced that will show particular characteristics, such as producing a drug (e.g. insulin) in its milk.

Translation The conversion of an mRNA transcript (see transcription) into a protein molecule by the cellular protein synthesis machinery.

Vaccines Biological preparations composed either of a harmless variety of a disease-causing agent such as a virus or bacteria, or of proteins derived from such an agent. When introduced into humans, the agent itself or its protein subunits, will elicit a strong immune response, which will be protective against further infection from that agent.

Vector A vehicle that transfers material (typically genetic) into a host cell or organism.

Xenograft A tissue transplant from one species to another, e.g. from pig to human.

X-ray crystallography A technique that allows the elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of proteins, DNA, or other biomolecules at atomic-level resolution. This is achieved by first crystallising the purified biomolecule into ordered arrays and then using X-rays to analyse the crystals.
