Roslin Technologies Limited

Company description

Roslin Technologies utilises biotechnology to develop sustainable food products, to combat the issues of food security, animal health and environmental change.

Roslin Technologies is an agriculture biotechnology company that has been established as the commercialisation arm of the world renowned Roslin Institute and University of Edinburgh's Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies. As well as developing a range of new products, we offer a strong platform for industry engagement through a range of services, licencing and collaboration opportunities. Located at the University's Easter Bush Campus which is part of the Midlothian Science Zone, Roslin Technologies is well placed to play a leading role in delivering strong industry impacts from new developments in Agri-tech. Although still rapidly developing, the Zone is already one of the largest animal science innovation hubs in the world, being home also to a number of organisations with animal science expertise and an international reputation for conducting world class research and teaching. Roslin Technologies is a joint venture that builds upon a strong and novel partnership between the world leading research, knowledge and expertise that is contained within the University of Edinburgh, and two investment and business development partners with a strong global network and reach.

Project impact

Roslin Technology (commercial partner of Roslin Institute) is currently offering a commercial biobanking service to the poultry industry to biobank commercial chicken flocks using the technology partially developed in this grant. The commercial partner of this grant, Cobb Vantress, Inc, has granted Roslin Technology the right to commercially exploit the non-patentable IP from this project and has made use of this commercial biobanking service offered by Roslin Technology. I, Mike McGrew, am a consultant for the commercial biobanking service.
