BioCity Nottingham Part of Pioneer Group
“Our decision to become BioCity Nottingham tenants was and continues to be an excellent decision”, Peter Ridgway, Reach Separations
BioCity Nottingham is a short walk from the city centre. This former Boots R&D site has been transformed into a centre of excellence for pharmaceutical and biotech CROs.
BioCity Nottingham is a dedicated, interactive and close-knit community. With floors of flexible lab space and offices across four unique buildings, this space is the perfect fit for budding businesses, life science start-ups and scale-ups that will benefit from joining the collaborative CRO cluster in the East Midlands.
