Text for proposals

For PART A forms of EU proposals, you may use the text below:

  • Name of infrastructure of equipment: Institute for Biomedical Innovation (IBI).
  • Short description (Max 300 characters): The IBI (https://www.biomedinnovation.cam.ac.uk/) operates a 1,800 m² Prototyping Facility offering cleanroom and lab spaces for device fabrication, metrology, testing, and assembly. It includes tissue culture and human performance labs, with structured access, training, and staff support for users.

Longer description of the IBI Prototyping Facility for proposals:

The project will be carried out within the Institute for Biomedical Innovation (IBI), a dedicated medical‑device infrastructure based at the University of Cambridge. The IBI’s 1,800 m² Prototyping Facility provides access to cleanroom and standard laboratory space equipped for microfabrication, precision metrology, device assembly, packaging, and validation, enabling batch‑scale prototyping of implantable, wearable and in vitro devices. The facility includes a dedicated tissue culture suite for in vitro validation and biocompatibility assessment, alongside a human performance laboratory for on‑site evaluation of wearable systems with healthy volunteers, which supports iterative refinement of device form‑factor, signal quality, and user interaction. Access is managed through a structured user programme incorporating safety training and allowing certified researchers to operate equipment independently or under staff‑supported process development, making the IBI a core facility for advanced medical‑device research and development.
