A biomedical science project based in Scotland has received a boost, it has emerged.
Edinburgh BioQuarter, a life science real estate development located alongside the city's Royal Infirmary, is to get a cash injection of £12 million.

Partners in Edinburgh BioQuarter hope that the additional money will lead to the creation of more spin-off companies from the University of Edinburgh over the next seven years, people seeking biomedical science jobs may be interested to note.
Chief executive of Scottish Enterprise Jack Perry said: "As well as providing space for large international life science firms to locate alongside the university ... and NHS Lothian's Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, we want Edinburgh BioQuarter to be a hub for indigenous life sciences businesses."
Scottish Enterprise and the University of Edinburgh are currently in the process of recruiting a programme director to spearhead the strategy.
