## Description
Medicines Discovery Catapult (MDC) is a national facility for collaborative R&D exploring and developing new approaches to the discovery and proof of well targeted medicines, diagnostics and biomarkers.  Funded by Innovate UK, an agency of the UK government, MDC are an independent not-for-profit company bringing together a fragmented UK sector of industry, academia, charities, technologists, services, finance companies, SMEs and start-ups who together can turn good science into new, high value products. By sharing problems, rare expertise and assets we support the growth of this new community through a time of radical business and national change.
The UK Lighthouse Laboratories were established across the UK in a matter of weeks to dramatically increase the number of coronavirus tests that can take place each day to support the national effort against the coronavirus pandemic.
The new Lighthouse Laboratories have been constructed through a partnership with the Department of Health, Medicines Discovery Catapult, UK Biocentre and the University of Glasgow. Their development is closely supported by both the NHS and Public Health England.
Medicines Discovery Catapult is leading the Lighthouse Lab located in new dedicated labs at Bruntwood SciTech’s Alderley Park.
More information on the UK Lighthouse Lab Network is available here: https://www.lighthouselabs.org.uk/

It is envisaged that the Contract and implementation will commence in March 2021. However, this date may be subject to slippage.
