History

Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst was formed through a collaboration between the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), GlaxoSmithKline, Wellcome and Innovate UK.

This has created a globally recognised cluster for therapeutic research and development that provides support for translation and commercialisation of innovative new medicines.
