York Biotech Campus welcomes learners for hands-on science experience

 

York Biotech Campus (YBC), Yorkshire’s leading bioscience hub, recently hosted five weeks of immersive scientific training in partnership with BioGrad Education, helping to equip the next generation of scientists with hands-on lab experience.

The biotech education provider delivered two of its Skills Bootcamp programmes – Laboratory Skills and Biotechnology and Mammalian Cell Culture – to learners from the University of Hull and University of York. The bootcamps offered intensive, practical training in advanced lab techniques, preparing participants for careers in the fast-growing life sciences sector.

On the residency, Liz Cashon, estates manager at York Biotech Campus, said: “We’re extremely proud to have welcomed BioGrad Education to our campus to help deliver such important training for the scientists of the future. It’s a truly exceptional environment for learning, surrounded by some of the UK’s leading science organisations.

“These bootcamps are also a great example of how our flexible lab spaces can support short-term projects, education providers, and start-ups. Whether it’s for a few weeks or several months, our short-term leases are ideal for project-based R&D and offer a unique opportunity to collaborate with others in our thriving scientific community.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming others to take advantage of what YBC has to offer.”

York Biotech Campus’s flexible leasing model, including short-term lab options, is designed to meet the needs of start-ups, short-term research projects, and educational programmes that often face challenges in securing lab space.
