ESACT-UK (www.esactuk.org.uk) is a UK-based Society that promotes the communication of knowledge and experience between scientists and engineers whose work has a direct or indirect bearing on cell culture biotechnology and the products derived from it. A particular emphasis is to ensure both the inclusion and the active participation, of less experienced scientists in industry or academic institutions. With over 30 years of history, ESACT-UK has been at the forefront of championing animal cell culture for R&D, manufacturing and commercial applications.
Chris Hewitt Rising Star Award is in memory of Professor Christopher J.
