A team of aspiring biotechnology entrepreneurs from the University of Cambridge has won the Biotechnology Young Entrepreneurs Scheme (YES) 2012 after a day of tough competition in London.
The team behind the 'Calvitium Solutions' business idea scooped the £1,000 top prize in the annual contest co-organised by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the University of Nottingham Institute for Enterprise and Innovation (UNIEI) at the London Marriot Hotel County Hall.
Team members Ajoeb Baridi, Alap Chavda, Anastasiia Kamenska, Liam Hurst and Linsey Porter saw off competition from 11 other teams in the final to win with their idea for a hypothetical hair loss prevention product, which impressed a panel of expert judges from academia and industry.
Minister for Universities and Science David Willetts said: "The participants in this competition have shown that there is a bright future ahead for biological science. This is one of the most vibrant and increasingly important sectors of the UK. They are developing the skills needed to translate world class research into wider economic and social benefits."
