We're celebrating an incredible partnership between our Community Team and the Lothian Vaccination Team!

Together, we developed and delivered over 60 workshops on HPV awareness to more than 1,000 S1 and S2 pupils in local schools. All of this was made possible by the amazing support of over 20 volunteers.

Teachers praised the sessions for engaging their students, and the Vaccination Team reported that pupils showed increased confidence around getting the HPV vaccine. 💉

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this project a success! 🙌

We were even featured on Scotland! Read the full article here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c98j56zd0ejo

It's time to say goodbye to our 2025 BioQuarter Summer Interns! 👋

Their last day was highlighted by a celebration event where the interns shared their achievements with members of the BioQuarter community and invited friends and family. The flash talks highlighted their passion for science and truly showcased the variety of research conducted on our site. 💫

This research was done across the BioQuarter site; from archival research on endometriosis to using zebra fish to study obesity, our interns delved into the world of research and gained hands-on experience. 🔬

The programme would not have happened without the support of all the hosts, workshop facilitators and admin staff. We extend a huge thank you to this fantastic team for helping us bring the benefits of community engagement to life!
