Did you know that medical research is happening all over the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, although you probably won’t ever see it going on?

But behind the scenes, researchers, scientists, doctors and nurses are working on important research to help sick people get better.

To help you visualise the stages involved, visit us during the Cambridge Festival and take part in our giant board puzzle with places to visit and clues to solve.

Prizes for all puzzle-solvers!

And for older kids and teens – if you want a tougher challenge, why not have a go at putting the different stages of what happens during a clinical trial in the right order on our magnetic board? If you’re not sure, ask one of our friendly team for clues!
