Syms also has a previous history of dealing with spinouts and has been active in other Life Science companies....
"Dr Steve Minter recently founded
NCIMB Ltd, a firm with access to the
unique University of Aberdeen
collection of bacteria, from which a
variety of medicines can be derived.
"Microbial genomics has attracted
less media attention than human
genomics but it is an area of huge
future significance," he remarked.
This is Dr Minter's second major
spinout. In 1992, he started Tepnel
Life Sciences. In 1994, his co-founder
at NCIMB Ltd, Dr Allan Syms, helped
start electronic odour sensor ('e-
noses') firm Osmetech, from
technology first developed at the
University of Manchester Institute of
Science and Technology (UMIST)."
