Life Sciences in Scotland
Scotland is home to one of the most impressive life sciences clusters in Europe.
Dolly the sheep, a defining breakthrough in modern science, attracted the world’s attention when she was born, the first mammalian clone, at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh in 1996.
Dolly is now an exhibit in the National Museums of Scotland, but the life science sector continues to grow to be in rude health.
Scotland can claim to be at the forefront of scientific innovation and technological advances in –
- Drug discovery and development
- Stem cell research
- Medical technologies
- Transitional medicines
- Specialist manufacturing
- Contract research
- Bioinformatics
Connecting with the global life sciences community
The Scottish community is forming lasting partnerships with the international life sciences industry.
There are strong links between Europe, USA, Japan and Korea stimulating exchange in investment, trade, technology, design and R&D.
Many of the global life sciences industry's top companies are choosing to locate in Scotland, including BioReliance, Lifescan and Quintiles.
