Centre for Regenerative Medicine and Craigmillar community

Dr Cathy Southworth, Community Science Engagement Manager for the Centre for Regenerative Medicine, has worked with the Castlebrae cluster of schools since 2016.

The partnership project has included work with Castleview, Niddrie Mill, Prestonfield and St Francis’ Primary Schools and Castlebrae Community High School, all close to the Centre for Regenerative Medicine at the Edinburgh BioQuarter.

Partnership activities have included a community science festival, a holiday science club, continuing professional development for teachers and free boxes of STEM activities for families during lockdown. The work that Cathy has done with Castleview Primary School won the Rolls Royce Science Prize in 2019.
