2023 Cohort
Introduction
We’ve all got to start somewhere. We recognise that one of the best ways to ensure the continued growth and success of the UK life science sector is to provide an encouraging and supportive environment within which our very early-stage ventures can stress test their science and business ideas. A good cohort isn’t just about great science – it’s about people, making connections and a shared bond centred around wanting to make a difference. For this reason, our cohorts are always a diverse group with a range of different life and work experience. The 2023 cohort was no exception! Meet them here…
