Explore the next question together.
YOHOLIFE® LAB welcomes researchers, research groups and organisations with questions worth investigating. Whether your work begins in academia or industry, we are interested in exploring how complementary knowledge could move an idea towards a useful technology.
You do not need a finished proposal to begin a conversation. An early observation, a technical obstacle or an outline of an approach is enough to explain the direction you would like to explore.
Who we welcome
Researchers and research groups. Academic researchers, postgraduate researchers and independent specialists seeking a relevant question, a complementary perspective or a possible route towards application.
Universities and research institutes. Teams interested in connecting methods, facilities and scientific knowledge through a clearly defined collaborative research question.
Industrial teams and innovators. Companies, start-ups and technical teams exploring materials, processes or biological production routes that could address a practical challenge.
Four platforms. Many possible connections.
Collaboration may sit within one platform or bring several areas together. The example pipelines on our platform pages show individual research questions within these broader fields.
GENORA® — Plant Biotechnology
EXTRAX® — Phytochemical Process Engineering
MATERA® — Biomimetic Protein & Materials
PURELIX® — Synthetic Biology & Biomanufacturing
What we could explore together
A shared research question. Define the uncertainty, discuss complementary expertise and consider the experiments or evidence needed to investigate it.
A method or feasibility study. Explore whether a proposed approach can answer a technical question, with an agreed scope and clear evaluation criteria.
A route towards application. Connect research findings with material, process or production requirements, identifying the next steps needed for further development.
Share a collaboration idea
A brief, non-confidential outline is enough for an initial enquiry. Please include an email address so our team can respond.
Tell us your name, role and company, university or research institute, alongside the question you would like to explore.
How the conversation begins
Share the question. Tell us briefly what you are exploring, what you hope to understand and where you see a possible connection.
Consider the fit. Our team will review the enquiry in relation to the research platforms and the expertise or work the idea may require.
Define a useful next step. Where there is a relevant fit, we can discuss the scope, responsibilities and appropriate arrangements before any work begins.
Prefer to start by email? Write to contact@yoholife.co.
Your details will be used to review and respond to this enquiry.
