Leadership

Innovation and excellence in healthcare

The Cambridge Biomedical Campus combines world-class biomedical research, patient care and education on a single site. Now undergoing a major expansion that includes the co-location of companies alongside the existing 17,500-strong community of healthcare professionals and research scientists, the Campus is on track to becoming one of the leading biomedical centres in the world by 2020.

Cambridge Biomedical Campus

Cambridge is the Capital of UK Life Sciences.

The sector employs over 13,000 people in 431 companies but numbers alone don’t explain the growth, success and impact which people, organisations and companies are making. It is places like the Cambridge Biomedical Campus (CBC) which are transforming the city.

The CBC is a thriving community where the worlds of academia, industry, research and health meet, collaborate and work to tackle some of the significant healthcare challenges facing the world today.

As the largest employment site in Cambridge – encompassing renowned and much loved hospitals – we are focused on ensuring patients benefit from the campus’ world-leading research. The international nature of the collaborations cut across traditional boundaries to allow us to work together on care, research and training. Our success is based on everyone’s willingness to unite to exert a powerful global influence as the Campus attracts world class companies, investment and talent to Cambridge with the aim of improving healthcare and knowledge.

Nowhere in the UK and rarely across the world do you find this unique set of conditions. We have the physical space to accommodate expansion and the international connections to be the global hub for content and research.

This means the Campus is now ready to help Cambridge to lead UK plc – creating the next generation of UK companies. With the cost of healthcare set to increase as the demand from an aging population soars, we are set to develop the treatments of the future. We have the foundations in place to generate the ideas, products and revenue to deliver the future success of the UK.

The Campus will therefore continue to grow, creating jobs and bringing investment to Cambridge but we do this in collaboration with the city and its residents. Our achievements and success reflect the endeavour, persistence and brilliance of the people who live and work here.
