“What if AI operated like collective memory” —says Markus Gershater to Phil Kay, on an episode of The Next Experiment podcast. By bringing together the experiences and data from a group of scientists, say, in assay development, in a way that’s consumable for AI, Markus envisioned an opportunity: A way for AI to help scientists in the same functions learn from similar past experiences. A way to pass on “tacit knowledge,” and help scientists create more refined hypotheses to validate. It’s one of the many potential AI applications in life sciences R&D that the Synthace team have been pondering over the last few months. And it's a topic Markus will be diving into today with fellow keynote speakers Gareth Conduit and Jürgen Harter at The Creative Disruption Forum. For London based folk close to White City Place City Place—it'll be a must-listen. #Biotech #Biopharma #Medtech #LifeSciences #AIForBiology

White City Place were thrilled to host The Original Marathon VIII for the second consecutive year on Saturday 8th March. 150 runners retraced sporting history, starting at Windsor Castle and finishing at White City Place, following the route of 1908 Olympic marathon. The 26.2-mile distance became the global standard after the London 1908 Olympic Games, where the race route was set to accommodate a royal request: starting inside Windsor Castle and ending in front of the royal box at White City Stadium, where White City Place now stands. This year’s event, which took place on International Women's Day, doubled its participants to symbolise the women excluded from the 1908 race and those who had to wait 76 years to compete in an Olympic marathon. This year’s race featured an inspiring group of runners, including Paralympics GB double gold medallist Richard Whitehead MBE. Whitehead has set an ambitious goal for 2025, pledging to run 20 marathons to reach an incredible milestone of 100 career marathons. A huge congratulations to all who took part!

White City Place was delighted to host The Circle Partnership’s ‘Voices for Change’ forum last week, uniting local charity leaders supporting women and young people. The event provided a space to share experiences, discuss challenges, and explore ideas. A central focus was the difficulty of accessing funding, with participants highlighting challenges such as navigating corporate funding, lengthy applications, and restricted funds that don’t meet key operational needs such as staffing. To address this, the group proposed a Funders Fair, connecting charities with local corporates holding ESG funds. White City Place is proud to support this initiative and strengthen local charities’ vital work.

🔬 Science Sum up: October 14 – 18 Although the real estate sector cannot keep pace with science, EG and AI can. . . and London seems to be the ideal place to foster the synergies between the three. If you don’t have a clue what is the first line about, then you may have missed an insightful conversation on the future of real estate, tech, and innovation: https://bit.ly/3YjVMYo Bringing forward the conversation around the occupier market in London, cancer therapy biotech firm Vivan Therapeutics has signed a new five-year lease in the West End. It will occupy office and laboratory space on the first floor in the WestWorks building at White City Place, developed by Stanhope PLC on behalf of Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan. Further occupier moves were seen in Oxford where Infleqtion, a quantum technology business, has signed up for 7,500 sq ft of fully fitted space within the Innovation Quarter of Oxford Technology Park. The deal marks Life Science REIT’s third letting at the Innovation Quarter and the first letting of fully fitted space at the park. On the development front in Oxford, Railpen has secured approval for the redevelopment of Eastpoint Business Park into a life sciences campus. The park sits just off the Eastern By-Pass Road and comprises office space across five buildings, all of which will be demolished and replaced with three facilities, spanning 215,278 sq ft, created by Scott Brownrigg. Outside of Oxford, Carter Jonas has hit one milestone after another, having been appointed as sole property adviser across four West Midlands innovation campuses. The sites comprise a combined 280,000 sq ft of lab, office and workshop space across University of Warwick Science Park, Business Innovation Centre, Binley, Warwick Innovation Centre and Blythe Valley Innovation Centre. In addition, the team has joined forces with Cushman & Wakefield in a hunt for occupiers at Breakthrough’s Vitrum in Cambridge. The joint venture between Tishman Speyer and Bellco Capital has begun construction of the building last week, thanks to a £104m loan provided by BGO earlier this year. Thomas Renn says: “Vitrum by Breakthrough is designed as a premier, highly amenitised research and development environment featuring modern and flexible lab spaces that can adapt to a wide range of scientific uses.” Stay up-to-date and weekend-ready by checking back on this page next week.
