The Wales Life Sciences Investment Fund: Delivering Our Vision for Growth
“
At BioWales 2012, I talked to you about our vision for a new strategy for the sector in Wales. A key part of that strategy was launching a fund to meet the specific needs of life science businesses, enabling companies to realise their potential and deliver rapid growth. I’m delighted to reveal that our vision is becoming a reality with the official launch of the Wales Life Sciences Investment Fund here at BioWales 2013. This year, we will make our first investments and provide the funding needed for entrepreneurs and enterprising scientists in Wales to turn their exciting ideas into reality. At BioWales 2013, we will outline the Wales Life Sciences Investment Fund and demonstrate how it will help us realise the potential of the sector.

Academia and Industry – Collaborating for Growth Our academic institutions continued to deliver world-class research and built on an already impressive repertoire of projects to grow the sector in Wales in 2012/13:
Medical Research Council Investment in Swansea University In August 2012, the Medical Research Council announced £19 million investment to establish four E-health research centres of excellence. Swansea University will become home to one of four centres of excellence in E-health research in the country, with around £4.5 million of the total invested in Swansea University’s first MRC Centre.
European Cancer Stem Cell Research Institute at Cardiff University A team at the School of Biosciences has identified a weakness in breast cancer stem cells, the cell type responsible for tumour spread and relapse. Dr Richard Clarkson is leading the research team and said:
“We believe we have found a crucial ‘Achilles heel’ in breast cancer stem cells. We can almost completely shut down their ability to spread the disease through the body through secondary tumours”.
Life Science Wales at Swansea University The Life Science Wales project, backed by the Welsh Government’s European funded Academic Expertise for Business programme, is an innovative collaboration between academia, business and the NHS in Wales which will consider how life sciences can make an even greater contribution to the economy. Life Science Wales, led by Professor David Ford, brings together Swansea and Cardiff Universities with other academic institutions, the life sciences commercial sector and the NHS to encourage innovation, promote collaboration, identify opportunities, and share knowledge and problem solving within the sector.

Y Byd Academaidd a Diwydiant – Cydweithredu ar gyfer Twf Mae ein sefydliadau academaidd wedi parhau i ddarparu ymchwil o’r radd flaenaf ac maent wedi adeiladu ar gyfres o brosiectau sydd eisoes yn nodedig er mwyn tyfu’r sector yng Nghymru yn 2012/13:
Y Cyngor Ymchwil Feddygol yn Buddsoddi ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe Ym mis Awst 2012, cyhoeddodd y Cyngor Ymchwil Feddygol ei fod yn buddsoddi £19 miliwn er mwyn sefydlu pedair canolfan ragoriaeth ymchwil e-iechyd. Bydd Prifysgol Abertawe yn gartref i un o bedair canolfan ragoriaeth ym maes ymchwil e-iechyd yn y wlad, gyda thua £4.5 miliwn o’r cyfanswm yn cael ei fuddsoddi yng Nghanolfan Cyngor Ymchwil Feddygol gyntaf Prifysgol Abertawe.
Sefydliad Ymchwil Bôngelloedd Canser Ewropeaidd ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd Mae tîm o Ysgol y Biowyddorau wedi nodi gwendid mewn bôn-gelloedd canser y fron, y math o gell sy’n gyfrifol am ymledu tiwmorau ac am ail byliau o salwch. Yn ôl Dr Richard
Clarkson sy’n arwain y tîm ymchwil ‘rydym ni’n credu ein bod ni wedi dod o hyd i fan gwan pwysig iawn ym môn-gelloedd canser y fron. Gallwn bron iawn eu hatal yn llwyr rhag ymledu’r clefyd drwy’r corff drwy diwmorau eilaidd’.
Gwyddorau Bywyd ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe Mae’r prosiect Gwyddorau Bywyd Cymru, a gefnogir gan raglen Arbenigedd Academaidd i Fusnesau Llywodraeth Cymru a ariennir gan Ewrop yn gydweithrediad arloesol rhwng y byd academaidd, y byd busnes a’r GIG yng Nghymru. Bydd y prosiect yn ystyried sut y gall gwyddorau bywyd wneud hyd yn oed mwy o gyfraniad at yr economi. Bydd Gwyddorau Bywyd Cymru, a arweinir gan yr Athro David Ford, yn dwyn ynghyd Prifysgolion Abertawe a Chaerdydd â sefydliadau academaidd eraill, sector masnachol y gwyddorau bywyd a’r GIG er mwyn annog arloesedd, hyrwyddo’r gwaith o gydweithredu, nodi cyfleoedd a rhannu gwybodaeth a’r broses o ddatrys problemau yn y sector.
Sylw i: Gofal Clwyfau yng Nghymru Mae’r maes gofal clwyfau yn cyflogi tua 1600 o bobl yng Nghymru gyda throsiant masnachol o dros £70 miliwn yn flynyddol ac incwm ymchwil o dros £1.5 miliwn. Mae cyfanswm o £150 miliwn yn cael ei wario ar ofal clwyfau yn flynyddol yng Nghymru. Mae gan Gymru’r arbenigedd i ddarparu atebion a’r gallu i fod yn lleoliad gofal a gwella clwyfau o’r radd flaenaf. Mae’n gartref i bob math o ragoriaeth ym maes ymchwil gofal clwyfau, ac mae’r Athro Keith Harding CBE a’r Athro Wen Jiang eisoes yn cael eu cydnabod fel arweinwyr byd-eang yn y maes. Mae gan Gymru hefyd rwydwaith cryf sy’n cysylltu’r cymunedau busnes, clinigol ac academaidd. Mae gennym gyfleusterau o’r radd flaenaf ym mhrifysgolion Abertawe a Chaerdydd yn ogystal â chyfleusterau ar gyfer cynnal treialon mewn ysbytai a thimau rheoli ac ymchwil profiadol. Yn y maes gwyddorau bywyd, mae ConvaTec wedi sefydlu ei waith ymchwil a datblygu byd-eang ar gyfer cynhyrchion gofal clwyfau yn y Gogledd. Mae pum deg y cant o holl gynhyrchion byd-eang ConvaTec yn cael eu datblygu a’u gweithgynhyrchu yng Nghymru a’u hallforio i 120 o wledydd ledled y byd.

The NHS Partnership with Industry Award went to Aneurin Bevan Health Board’s Intellectual Property Group for their collaboration with E2L design consultancy to produce the ‘Easy Vein Access’ medical device. The product increases the size and accessibility of veins prior to cannulation, improving the success rate of insertion and so reducing patient distress and nursing time. Currently in its pilot trial stages, the device could reduce NHS costs considerably through savings in consumables and waste disposal. This Award was sponsored by the Welsh Government’s National Institute of Social Care and Health Research (NISCHR).
The Judges’ Award was won by GE Healthcare, which provides expertise and tools for research of cells and proteins, drug discovery research, as well as tools to support large-scale manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals. Key target market sectors are the early stages of drug discovery programmes, in particular high-throughput drug screening, metabolism and distribution studies. This Award was sponsored by Teamworks Design and Marketing.

The Innovation within the NHS Award was won by The North Wales Department of Medical Physics, part of the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board. The department provides scientific and technical support for patient services based on high-technology medicine. The team designed and manufactured the CelT phantom test tool, which provides realistic, effective testing of diagnostic CT scanners. Unlike existing phantoms, it forces the scanner to modulate its activity and behave as it would for a patient. This innovative idea holds great potential for expansion to Europe and beyond. This Award was sponsored by the Welsh Government’s National Institute for Social Care and Health Research (NISCHR).
A new addition to our awards this year, the ehi2 Innovation Award for Digital Technology in Health, was won by GP Commissioning Solutions, a provider of advanced health analytics with over 20 years’ experience in E-health. Their innovation, the Health Intervention Toolkit (or HINT), uniquely combines predictive risk modelling, gaps in care and medicines management to identify patients at risk. HINT provides clinicians with a targeted group of patients and has demonstrated benefits in both efficiency and patient outcomes. This Award was sponsored by the eHealth Industries Innovation Centre, (ehi2).
