University Technology Licensing Opportunities - Biotechnology & Diagnostics
Scotland is one of the most active biotechnology centres in Europe. Scotland’s leading position in Biotechnology, symbolised by the cloning of Dolly the sheep in 1996, is largely a result of its unparalleled university research capability in the field of life sciences. Strong support from government and gifted leadership from scientists such as Ian Wilmut, Sir David Lane and Sir Philip Cohen has attracted significant inward investment and led to the development of one of the world’s foremost biotechnology clusters. The reputation of life sciences in Scotland has attracted long term funding for projects resulting in the development of world class facilities such as the Centre for Biomedical Research and the Centre for Regenerative Medicine.
At the heart of the Scottish biotechnology cluster are the 13 Scottish universities. The strength and reputation of Life Sciences in Scotland enables the universities to recruit and retain some of the most innovative thinkers in the field. As a consequence, a very diverse range of research activities is ongoing across the Scottish universities.
Research areas include:

Research priorities include looking at the diagnosis and treatment of major disease groups such as cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis.
Many new and novel approaches in biotechnology and diagnostics are being developed by the Scottish universities which are contained in the University Technology database.
Another key strength of the Scottish universities is their willingness and ability to collaborate with other research and commercial organisations from across the world including the pharmaceutical industry.
