Biomolecular Interaction Centre

Welcome to the Biomolecular Interaction Centre

The Biomolecular Interaction Centre (BIC) was established at the University of Canterbury in 2007.  BIC recently received a multi-million dollar investment from the University of Canterbury to become one of two new premier research institutes on campus. The BIC objectives are to support and foster research in the area of biomolecular interactions.
