Colorifix, a bio-tech company based at Norwich Research Park that specialises in developing sustainable methods of dyeing fabrics, recently announced what it hopes will be the first of a number of deals with global fashion brands to provide its dye technology for the production of more sustainable fashion.
Having already collaborated with designer Stella McCartney, it has teamed up with H&M to contribute to their latest Innovation Stories collection - the Colour Story – to celebrate new, more sustainable methods of working with colour.

A critical process in the infection cycle of viruses has been revealed for the first time in dynamic detail using pioneering plant-based technology.
Evidence about the process of virus maturation revealed in the research could help us develop new methods for treating viral infections.
Maturation plays a critical role for all animal and bacterial viruses and is required to produce infectious virions or particles. Though the outlines of the process have been determined for many groups of viruses, detailed mechanistic studies have not been reported.
