"The aim of the partnership between HUN-REN BLRI and Basecamp Research is the microbial and chemical analysis of environmental samples collected from the diverse habitats in Hungary with both commercial and research objectives. Basecamp Research, a biotechnology company based in London, UK, conducts commercial research on genetic material and associated digital sequence information (DSI) from microorganisms derived from environmental samples collected in marine and terrestrial habitats through Biodiversity Collaborations established, among others, with HUN-REN BLRI who conduct ecological research to explore the distribution and diversity of microbial communities. The partnership involves mutually beneficial aspects of technology- and knowledge transfer or scientific publications.
