Collaboration with CAPE

Within CAPE, the GSK collaboration will focus on science and technology that helps improve understanding of human health and the ways it can be positively influenced.

Tom Watt, Research Development Director, Connected Devices and Systems at GSK explained why GSK decided to join CAPE:“GSK’s mission is to help people do more, feel better and live longer – to meet this challenge has always required world class science and we are incredibly excited to continue this by partnering with the University of Cambridge through the CAPE initiative.
