27 September 2025 (10:00 - 16:00) Visit two of the newest buildings at the BioQuarter to have a snoop around! Meet researchers from across the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine. Join us for hands-on family activities and guided tours of the buildings and laboratories. The Institute for Regeneration and Repair is a multi-disciplinary research institute. Our scientists and clinicians study tissue regeneration and repair to advance human health and reproductive outcomes. The Institute incorporates the Centre for Regenerative Medicine (CRM), Centre for Inflammation Research (CIR) and the Centre for Reproductive Health (CRH). It was opened officially by the Chancellor of the University of Edinburgh in January 2024. The Usher Building is home to the Usher Institute and partners – working together with people, populations and data to understand and advance the health of individuals and populations through innovative collaborations in a global community. Construction was completed in summer 2024, with final touches to the fit out still in progress ahead of a formal opening to come in Spring 2025. The two buildings are co-located as part of Edinburgh BioQuarter – a health innovation district where The University of Edinburgh works in partnership with the NHS and Scottish Enterprise to create a leading location for healthcare delivery, groundbreaking medical research and health innovation. Over the next decade BioQuarter will transition into a new mixed use, urban neighbourhood of Edinburgh, centred around a world leading community of health innovators and companies, grounded in our local community.
