Universities and higher education institutions (HEIs) throughout Yorkshire and Humber, are frequently engaging with business in a variety of ways. One example of business engagement taking place in the region is at University of Bradford with Nature’s Laboratory.
Nature’s Laboratory is a manufacturer of natural medicines and health products. James Fearnley, Founder and CEO of Nature’s Laboratory, highlights how their business were looking to take the next steps by moving into evidenced based medicine. The University of Bradford offered Nature’s Laboratory a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP). The KTP allowed Nature’s Laboratory to transform their small business, by making the health products they provide into evidence based medicine. This initiative supported Nature’s Laboratory to obtain critical knowledge and legitimise their medicine by conducting research, that was supported by the University of Bradford.
