Park manager Katherine Maguire said: “Chesterford Research Park is delighted to be supporting the Cambridge Independent Science and Technology Awards.

“We are particularly proud to sponsor the Medtech Company of the Year category to showcase the ground-breaking work that is being pioneered within the Cambridge biotech cluster.”
The park laboratory and office space are within 250 acres of parkland.
