C3 Biotech

C3 Biotech emerged out of the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology in 2015 by founders Professor Nigel Scrutton FRS and Michael Smith. They were driven by a vision to create a better world by providing sustainable and innovative solutions to meet the impending energy crisis. This vision is rooted in foundational science that has emerged from the engineering of biology, but is shaped by the need to urgently establish industrial manufacturing at scale. This idea is at the heart of C3. Building a better world doesn’t mean reimagining what we do but the way we do it – sustainable fuels that clean up the planet and save natural resources is the first step in achieving global net zero goals, whilst tackling the impending energy crisis. C3 is now positioned to grow its pioneering technology to be catalysts of industrialisation in biomanufacturing.
