Entries from the University won three of eight prizes at the annual Scottish Knowledge Exchange Awards.

Awards hat-trick
The Wellcome iTPA team, part of Edinburgh Innovations, was crowned Knowledge Exchange Heroes for its work supporting early career researchers to commercialise.
The team of six, led by Dr Lysimachos Zografos, has built a community of more than 1300 researchers and supported 180 innovative health and wellbeing projects.
The team gave out £1.8 million in funding and returned a further £12.2 million – a 600 per cent return on investment.
Winner of Innovation of the Year was student startup Prozymi Biolabs, founded by biomedical science PhD Dr Ioannis Stasinopoulos.
Prozymi Biolabs is using novel gluten-degrading enzymes to improve the texture and flavour of gluten-free bread.
