LifeArc
We specialise in early-stage translation – advancing lab-based scientific discoveries to a point at which they can be developed into the next generation of diagnostics, treatments and cures. We started out as MRC Technology, commercialising scientific research funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC), and today we are a leading UK medical research charity. We are self-funding, using our investment portfolio to support our charitable activities. We partner and work with academics, industry, charities and patient groups to unlock the potential of early stage science. We have an office in London and scientific research facilities in Stevenage and Edinburgh. We also have a specialist science team working at the Francis Crick Institute in London. Our state-of-the-art laboratories in Stevenage are dedicated to drug discovery, while our scientists in Edinburgh are working to develop diagnostics. https://www.lifearc.org/about/who-we-are/
