Genesis Biosciences celebrates growth as team expands
Genesis Biosciences is ensuring that it can continue to be a leader in sustainable cleaning by strengthening its laboratory and research & development teams.
The lab team, led by laboratory manager Dr Kate Ledwoch, has doubled in size, expanding Genesis’ wealth of expertise in developing products to positively impact cleaning across multiple industries and the environment.
The company has additionally grown its research & development team, curating a diverse, skilled team of scientists. It says that its focus on hiring highly qualified scientists and researchers marks a core differentiator from its competitors and allows it to conduct its innovative work in house, from research & development to the production of its performance-driven eco-benign products and solutions.
Among the new appointments is Cardiff University Biological Science masters graduate Sophie Akers (pictured). Sophie specialises in bioinformatics, genomics and molecular ecology, and utilises her experience in these fields as a research & development scientist at Genesis Biosciences.
"I am delighted to have joined Genesis Biosciences' research & development team at such an exciting time for the company's growth,” says Sophie. “Our work is incredibly important in not only supporting effective cleaning and wastewater treatment in several industries, but ensuring that this can be achieved in a sustainable way. It is great to be able to collaborate with the other experts in our lab and R&D teams and offer my own input into the development of our products."
Dr Emma Saunders, general manager at Genesis Biosciences, says: "Sophie is a tremendous addition to our R&D team, and offers a wealth of expertise in bioinformatics and genomics. We strive to recruit the top scientists and professionals to our team, and our strong growth is a testament to the hard work of our current and new team members.
"With our ever-growing team, we will continue to produce innovative and safe eco-benign antimicrobial and microbial technologies that can be distributed globally."
Genesis Bioscience's European technical facility is in Capital Business Park in Cardiff. The company also has a fermentation facility and laboratories in Georgia, the US and manufactures finished products both in the US and the UK. Genesis Biosciences distributes globally, including within Asia and Europe, and operates in several markets, which include wastewater treatment, facilities management, marine, agriculture and retail.
