Synergies across disciplines are increasingly being explored; many such ventures begin as dalliances and flirtations and end up as marriages of inter-linking S & T plays.<\/span><\/p>\n

Witness at the upper end of the scale AI computing world leader NVIDIA\u2019s collaboration with Cambridge-anchored Big Biotech, AstraZeneca, on a transformer-based generative AI model for chemical structures used in drug discovery. It is among the first projects to run on Cambridge-1, the UK\u2019s largest supercomputer, based at the KAO Data Centre in Harlow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many other collaborative examples are starting to shine through a blurring fog of R & D activities across the East of England and the wider UK. Numerous Cambridge startups are now operating at this innovation interface between Science & Technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

This makes the introduction of the Bruntwood SciTech Pathfinder category in the Business Weekly Awards this year exceptionally timely. Entries are now open and we are seeking companies whose science or technology is influencing nextgen life sciences innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bruntwood SciTech is a property provider dedicated to driving the growth of the S & T sector. A new development planned by the company for Melbourn Science Park is being prepared for planners. While the exact blueprint remains under wraps, we can say that the environment envisioned will provide a breeding ground for cross-pollination of gamechanging ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is accepted that modern Life Science research is facing a number of increasing challenges, such as:-<\/span><\/p>\n
