Where nature itself is put under the microscope
Do you think that natural boundaries limit us? Do you wonder to what degree should we challenge our inherited biological backgrounds? Then you’re in the right place. Biotechnology and genetics are both booming subjects. And the city of Cambridge is central to their popularity, contributing to continuous advances both commercially and in terms of research.
The famous ‘Cambridge Cluster’ – a group of biotech firms spearheading the field – is world renowned for its dominance the sector. The fact that global biotech giant AstraZeneca choosing to relocate its HQ to the city says a lot. It’s no coincidence either, that the university’s Department of chemical Engineering and biotechnology boasts one of the UK’s leading research departments. So, few places in the world stand up to Cambridge’s reputation in biotechnology and genetics studies.
