Two Oxford University scientists warn that major research and development projects will be driven away by the lack of proper facilities to support medical and scientific pioneering. – Vintage Photograph

Today, two scientists from Oxford University have warned that the city is in dire need of a science park if it is to remain at the forefront of medical and scientific pioneering. Dr Tony Day, a member of a hormone research team at the Medical Research Council’s immuno-chemistry unit and Dr Garth Cooper, a former bio-chemist who recently left Oxford to continue his research in the U.S., expressed their concerns at Oxford’s lack of facilities to pursue research beyond the experimental level. They were invited to view the plans for the Isis Science Park at Hinksey, which are before Vale of White Horse District Council. The developers want to build 14-acres of buildings.Today, two scientists from Oxford University have warned that the city is in dire need of a science park if it is to remain at the forefront of medical and scientific pioneering.

Science Park call OXFORD badly needs a science park if the city is to remain at the forefront of med- ical and scientific pioneering, it was claimed today. Two Oxford University scientists warned that major research and development projects will be driven away by the lack of proper facilities to encourage industrial and academic liaison. Their views were canvassed by the developers behind the con- troversial plan to build a 150-acre science park on Green Belt land at Hinksey, Oxford. But in supporting the general concept of a science park of the type being proposed by Sciox, the two chemists stopped short of an outright vote of approval for this specific scheme. “There is no doubt that Oxford needs a science park of this nature,” said Dr Tony Day, a member of a hormone research team at the Medical Research Council’s immuno-chemistry unit at Oxford. 1 In our picture Mr Crispin Auden, left, a director of one of the : s yop By MARTYN BEDFORD development’s partners, Brook- mount, makes a scale model point to Dr Day. “A first class science park would be good for Britain, good for Oxford and good for those of us who need such facilition to help bring our work to fruition,” said Dr Day. A former member of the same team, Dr Garth Cooper, recently left Oxford to continue his research into diabetes treatment in the U.S. A bio-chemist, Dr Cooper is concerned at Oxford’s lack of facilities to pursue research beyond the experimental level. “Oxford University is an excep- tional place to work and I would very much have liked to continue to make this work grow within that environment,” he said. The two scientists had been in- vited to view the Sciox plans for the Isis Science Park at Hinksey, which are before Vale of White Horse District Council. The developers want to build 14- acres of buildings. ZEP
