Collaborate

What should we investigate together?

We welcome non-confidential conversations with academic researchers and commercial R&D teams about a scientific question, an ingredient challenge or a formulation problem.

Send a non-confidential enquiry

For academic researchers.

Describe the question, why it matters and the expertise or facilities relevant to investigating it. We are interested in a focused scope with interpretable comparisons and clear responsibilities.

For commercial R&D teams.

Describe the intended application, the limitation of the current formulation and the reference materials already used. A useful brief connects the desired behaviour with a setting in which it matters.

Where the questions meet.

Our current interests concern pigment biology and optical films, polar-associated polymers and water behaviour, and cell-free biochemical light in materials. Molecular characterisation and formulation performance connect these fields.

For students and early-career scientists.

Research ideas can be considered through an appropriate academic supervision and collaboration route. Tell us about your field and academic setting. This page does not advertise a funded position or an open recruitment programme.

Begin with a non-confidential outline.

Please exclude patient-identifiable information, unpublished inventions and confidential material belonging to another organisation. An appropriate route for sensitive information can be agreed when there is a reason to proceed.

Research and commercial development
