I am writing on behalf of The University of Dundee, a UK based University which is one of the best universities in the UK for producing successful spinouts, according to a new report. The University Spinout Report 2021, carried out by GovGrant, names Dundee as the UK’s sixth most successful at commercializing innovation. The University spawned 1.5% of the UK’s spinouts with these companies raising £325.7 million over the past two decades.
University students formed Exscientia a pioneer in Artificial Intelligence-driven (AI) drug discovery and design and a world-leader in its field. The company has won numerous prizes including the UK’s Queen’s Award for Enterprise Innovation, recognising its pioneering work.
Ten Bio is another spinout venture founded by Dr Robyn Hickerson and Dr Michael Conneely that offers an alternative for many experiments currently only performed in animals. They have developed a product, branded ‘TenSkin™’, that sees human skin stretched to an optimal tension to mimic the mechanobiology that exists in intact, living skin on the body.
The University of Dundee offers admission to all international students with special emphasis on Indian students through different scholarships. Through their spinouts, the university offers an opportunity to bring out the best in every student and facilitate their unique ideas through entrepreneurial support.
