Creating a cross-disciplinary research hub to deliver antimicrobial innovation with real impact.
Liverpool is one of NBIC’s four lead research institutions and its involvement is through the Open Innovation Hub for Antimicrobial Surfaces. The hub combines interdisciplinary surface and materials science expertise with advanced imaging techniques across the physical and life sciences.
We are focused on designing and engineering a new generation of intelligent surfaces and materials that are capable of inhibiting bacterial, viral, and fungal attachment and proliferation.
Our team is made up of experts with a range of backgrounds in life and physical sciences. Here you can find out more about our researchers and their fields of expertise.
Our state-of-the-art equipment and expert staff are available to provide the highest quality of surface analysis, ranging from high resolution topography to wetting characteristics and spectroscopy.
We work with companies of all sizes from SMEs to multinationals. We can offer surface, materials and biological analysis on a contract basis as well as partnering on grant funded projects.
Our partners are national and international organisations with an interest in antimicrobial surface development for medical and commercial use.
