About PED
PED is a veterinary bioscience company, founded to provide practical applications of scientific research for improvement of animal welfare.
The Company was founded in 2004, following success in developing a neuroendocrine theory of aging for horses and associated model of disease onset. Now a limited company with equity investment, PED provides the first pre-emptive diagnostics for Cushingoid horses and is developing nutraceutical and pharmaceutical treatment options.
Current research: equine circadian and circannual hormone and neurohormone models, biogenic amine and platelet associations in equine laminitis.
BioCity - the history
BioCity Nottingham is a groundbreaking new healthcare and bioscience innovation and incubation centre and has the potential to be one of the largest in the UK and Europe.
It was made possible by a huge donation of laboratory and office buildings and equipment from BASF to Nottingham Trent University in 2001 (in what is believed to be the largest ever corporate donation to a new university).
BioCity is a success story of partnership and co-operation and is the result of an effective collaboration between Nottingham Trent University, the University of Nottingham and the East Midlands Development Agency, having also received funding support from the DTI, ERDF and Greater Nottingham Partnership.
