METRC

METRC is a virtual lab pooling expertise from leading research centres at Universities across the North of England. Our focus is on soft nanotechnology and its applications in industry. Our target markets include home and personal care, medicine and healthcare, and energy.

Many of our leading researchers are working on technology for the next generation of medical devices from new materials for imaging technologies through to targeted delivery of active materials.
Work with us to develop innovative new products and processes.  We can help reduce your time to market and gain access to new markets for your business.

Our combined strength means we can tackle challenges and capitalise on opportunities beyond the scope of any one partner. We undertake fundamental and applied R&D with our industry partners and help them to secure funding for these purposes.
