| Description | We have discovered new ways of observing biological events by using liquid crystal displays. We have discovered new types of gel materials based on combinations of biological molecules and synthetic molecules. |
| Exploitation Route | In particular our newly discovered aromatic carbohydrate amphiphiles are expected to find use by others. |
