A new £25 million facility dedicated to finding new treatments for
diseases such as HIV and cancer was launched at The University of
Manchester today.

The Core Technology Facility (CTF) labs are already looking at ways
to grow replacement tissue, such as veins and arteries, and even
whole organs that could one day be transplanted into patients
suffering from conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.

The CTF will provide specialist accommodation for biotech companies
as well as academic staff from the university's Faculties of Life
Sciences and Medical and Human Sciences.

The facility will encourage commercial exploitation of these
university research activities by providing integrated space in
which young businesses can work alongside University research
groups. The CTF is being launched by The University of Manchester
Incubator Company Limited (UMIC), which manages a portfolio of
business incubators on behalf of the university
