The Biosphere has been shortlisted for a ‘Best Sector Support’ award in the OBN Awards 2019. This is a broad ranging award that recognises outstanding levels of support or service to companies in the life sciences sector.

These awards celebrate innovation and achievement in the life sciences industry, from outstanding scientific innovation within biotech, medtech, digital, synthetic biology, to the companies that support the industry and the fundraisers that make it happen.

It’s not just about the building, it is the fact that is surrounded by a community of innovators on Newcastle Helix and the entire eco-system of support that makes it so special. So much has been achieved since 2015, and we are delighted to be shortlisted for an award alongside government bodies, sector organisations business parks and legal firms who all help to shape the future of the life science sector.”
