On the Easter Bush Campus, there is a strong culture of industry engagement with over two thirds of senior scientists at The Roslin Institute engaging with companies. With dedicated support available for making industry-academic collaboration work, this enables it to play a key role in supporting the UK animal health sector.

The Roslin Institute has existing relations with approximately 100 companies in the animal health, genetics and feed additives sectors with its R&D pipeline primed by over £25 million in annual research income.
