About

Biocell Energetics provides a comprehensive suite of services focused on cellular metabolism, drug discovery, toxicology, and exercise science. 

Drawing on our expertise in cellular and molecular biology, we combine technical know-how with innovative approaches to provide affordable in vitro services. Our assessments of cellular bioenergetics encompass three main areas: cellular metabolism, drug discovery and toxicology, along with exercise science. We serve scientists across academia, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, environmental sectors, cosmetics and sports-related fields.

At Biocell Energetics, we aspire to be a centre of excellence in cellular bioenergetics, driving innovative solutions in real-time cellular metabolic profiling. Our goal is to advance assays in cellular metabolism, mitochondrial and cellular toxicity, and biomarker development, ultimately contributing to improvements in disease prevention and treatment, as well as enhancing our understanding of human health.

Biocell Energetics is an Operating Division of University of Birmingham Enterprise. 

Our Vision

To improve, standardise and enhance cellular bioenergetic assays for exploring cellular and mitochondrial energy metabolism.

Our Mission

Unite scientific innovation, state-of-the art technology and world-leading bioenergetic expertise to enhance real-time cellular metabolic profiling for clients in industry, biotechnology and academia.

We have ambitions to unite scientific innovation, state-of-the art technology and world-leading bioenergetic expertise to enhance real-time cellular metabolic profiling from living cells and tissues.
