This BBSRC Industrial CASE studentship is a collaboration between Unilever Plc, the University of Edinburgh and Green Bioactives Ltd. The successful applicant will be predominantly located at the Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences, University of Edinburgh but may also undertake research at Unilever Plc acquiring cutting-edge commercial and research skills. The Studentship will develop novel transformation and associated gene editing technologies for cultured plant stem cells to help improve yields of a natural and potentially sustainable ingredient for personal care products. This work will help facilitate the establishment of a sustainable and reliable plant cell-based biomanufacturing platform for the future production of a key ingredient, and potentially other related plant natural products, to help meet global personal care needs. This industrial-academic collaboration provides a unique opportunity to develop a blend of commercial and academic research skills, providing a strong basis for future career development. Networking across the Unilever BBSRC CASE student cohort will be strongly encouraged and facilitated through the annual student workshop, virtual meeting, specific training courses and digital communications.

该BBSRC工业案例项目是联合利华公司、爱丁堡大学和Green BioActives有限公司的合作项目。成功的申请者将主要在爱丁堡大学分子植物科学研究所工作，但也可能在联合利华公司进行研究，获得尖端的商业和研究技能。该项目将为培养的植物干细胞开发新的转化和相关的基因编辑技术，以帮助提高一种用于个人护理产品的天然和潜在可持续成分的产量。这项工作将有助于建立一个可持续和可靠的基于植物细胞的生物制造平台，用于未来生产一种关键成分，并可能生产其他相关的植物天然产品，以帮助满足全球个人护理需求。这种产学合作提供了一个独特的机会，可以发展商业和学术研究技能的融合，为未来的职业发展提供坚实的基础。将通过年度学生研讨会、虚拟会议、具体培训课程和数字通信，大力鼓励和促进联合利华BBSRC案例学生群体之间的联系。
