Notes to Editors

  • The International Centre for Life is a pioneering science village based in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne.

 

  • As an independent and self-funding charitable trust, its robust business model eliminates reliance on national or local government funding and has led to the development of a respected education and public engagement programme through the Life Science Centre and support for first-class research facilities to on-site partners.

 

  • On-site partners include The Institute of Genetic Medicine, where geneticists from Newcastle University work alongside staff from the NHS Northern Genetics Service.  Within the Bioscience Centre, tenants include the NHS Newcastle Fertility Centre.  The synergy between these disciplines has produced spectacular results and secured Life international recognition and a reputation as a world leader. 

 

  • Since 2000, the Centre for Life has earned worldwide headlines for advances in stem cell technology.
