Today, over 2,500 people work at the Campus that comprises approximately 1 million square feet of space within a beautiful 135-acre estate in Hinxton, 9 miles south of Cambridge.

The Campus is situated within one of the most dynamic and innovative life sciences ecosystems in Europe, home to over 30 science and technology parks within a 10-mile radius of Cambridge, making it Europe's largest biotechnology cluster.
