Every day, Global University Venturing rounds up the smaller investments from across the university innovation ecosystem in its deal net.

Cibus Analytical, a UK-based food validation and safety test spinout of Queen’s University Belfast (QUB), completed a £570,000 ($715,000) seed round last month led by the university’s commercialisation arm Qubis, with commitments from assorted angel investors. The round was supported by government research grant body Innovate UK. Cibus Analytical has been established to offer both lab and portable food tests using resources from QUB’s Institute for Global Food Security.
