Bioquarter competition to seek health benefit firms
The competition offers more than £25,000 in prize money for researchers from NHS Lothian and Edinburgh University.
Five companies will be selected as finalist in April 2012 and undergo a Dragon’s Den-style competition.
The winner will receive £10,000 to develop their idea.

The Bioquarter’s Dr Mike Capaldi said: “Last year’s competition was a great success.
“We had 25 entries from around the university and the NHS, and three of the short-listed company concepts have since gone on to incorporate as businesses.
“This year we want to uncover even more ideas, whether from medical researchers or elsewhere in the university.”
