‘Follow the science’: AstraZeneca unveils £1bn R&D centre. Anglo-Swedish pharmaceutical company has come a long way since it fought off a takeover bid in 2014
AstraZeneca unveils The Discovery Centre (DISC) in Cambridge
Image captured during the lab tour.
In the image Dr Andrew Hall & Dr Amy Pointon presenting cellular heartbeats.
Little expense has been spared at the giant glass and steel structure that sprouts from a once-vacant plot of land on the outskirts of Cambridge.
AstraZeneca’s £1bn new research and development centre houses 16 labs and 2,200 scientists, making it the biggest science lab in Britain along with the Francis Crick Institute in London, and the pharmaceutical company’s biggest single site investment to date. Designed by the Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, the Discovery Centre (Disc) covers an area the size of eight football pitches, and is part of Europe’s biggest biomedical cluster. Cambridge University, two hospitals and hundreds of research institutions and biotech firms are nearby. The building is flooded with natural light, captures its heat from the ground beneath, and its toilets are flushed with rain water.

‘Follow the science’: AstraZeneca unveils £1bn R&D centre. Anglo-Swedish pharmaceutical company has come a long way since it fought off a takeover bid in 2014
AstraZeneca unveils The Discovery Centre (DISC) in CambridgeAstraZeneca unveils The Discovery Centre (DISC) in Cambridge
Portrait of Dr. Susan Galbraith during an interview with the Guardian journalists.
Little expense has been spared at the giant glass and steel structure that sprouts from a once-vacant plot of land on the outskirts of Cambridge.
AstraZeneca’s £1bn new research and development centre houses 16 labs and 2,200 scientists, making it the biggest science lab in Britain along with the Francis Crick Institute in London, and the pharmaceutical company’s biggest single site investment to date. Designed by the Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, the Discovery Centre (Disc) covers an area the size of eight football pitches, and is part of Europe’s biggest biomedical cluster. Cambridge University, two hospitals and hundreds of research institutions and biotech firms are nearby. The building is flooded with natural light, captures its heat from the ground beneath, and its toilets are flushed with rain water.

The people making a difference: the public health champion who met his hero, Simon Cowell
Alfred Oyekoya helped boost vaccine takeup in Swansea’s BAME community - and was rewarded by visiting the set of Britain’s got talent
When Alfred Oyekoya had his first Covid vaccine in January last year, he wanted a photograph of the event. "I needed a picture of me getting the vaccine, to educate my community," says Oyekoya, 38, a civil servant living in Swansea. "The staff refused, telling me not to worry about education - the NHS was doing all that."
He was crestfallen. "People were expecting me to have proof that I’d taken the vaccine." Oyekoya returned to the vaccination centre a few hours later and this time was more insistent. Eventually the staff relented, took a photo of him, and Oyekoya uploaded the picture to social media.
He wasn't being difficult. As someone known in Swansea's African community for his public health advocacy - Oyekoya is British-Nigerian - he knew his decision would carry a lot of weight.

Government Covid booster poster campaign.
Members of the public walk past a government poster campaign in west London urging over 50s to get their Covid-19 and flu Booster jabs as Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer calls for Downing Street to reintroduce compulsory face masks and work from home guidance. Last week, Health Secretary Sajid Javid ordered the NHS to allow the over 50s to book their 3rd vaccine a month early to speed up the booster vaccination program.
