Community

We take an active part in our local community and work in partnership with various local initiatives.

As a company we have long been passionate about inspiring the next generation of scientists.

We support a number of Cambridge business mentoring initiatives to help biotech entrepreneurs advance their business ideas.

One of the ways in which we support the local community is through our Cambridge Charity of the Year programme.
