The Cambridge Research Institute young entrepeuneurs team have won a spot in the final round of the Biotechnology Young Entrepeuneurs Scheme (Biotechnology YES) competition.

The scheme organised by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the University of Nottingham Institute for Enterprise and Innovation (UNIEI), is run as an annual competition and provides training in entrepreneurship and commercial awarenes for young bioscientists.

The team comprising Sarah Dietz (from the Carroll Group), Monika Golinski (from the Griffiths Group), Sarah Moffatt (from the Genomics core facility), Hayley Thirkettle and Hayley Whitaker (both from the Neal Group), represented the Institute at the recent Northern region round held in Edinburgh.

The team will now prepare to present their optimised business plan to the judging panel in the final round which will be held in London on Monday 3 December 2007.
