Scotland has always been at the forefront of life science research with Edinburgh playing a key role. Dr Mike Capaldi illustrates the unique concept of Edinburgh BioQuarter: it brings together scientists from the University of Edinburgh and NHS Lothian with commercial research companies to collaborate and accelerate the development of new drugs, diagnostic tools and medical devices to treat diseases.
