Dubai Science Park. Scientists and pharma.

DSP is a small freezone, with a beautiful main building in the form of two slender towers connected in the center by a glass crystal. On the website of the architectural firm Kling, the author of the project, it is written that "the concept of the building with its elongated narrow windows in the full height of the stone wall resembles DNA strands of different sizes migrating towards each other in a gel matrix". Yeah, that's what we thought.

There are 350 companies registered in this location, engaged in scientific research in the fields of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, clinical research, household chemicals and food. Some of the laboratories have already been built, but you can also notice some beautiful new buildings under active construction.

Dubai Science Park is home to the offices of pharma giants like Pfizer and Bayer, as well as dozens of small science-based startups for whom access to labs and reagents is important. Startups are 40% of all residents.

This location now employs 3,000 scientists. For their comfortable work, in addition to modern laboratories and office buildings, a large village with villas and residences, as well as a school and a kindergarten have been built here. In front of the main building there is a park with sports and children's areas, with a long running track around the perimeter and even a farm where you can grow your own plants. Spirited.

Today's young scientists are not, after all, disconnected nerds with thick black-rimmed glasses. At the entrance to the laboratories you can see dozens of ordinary young pleasant people with spiritualized faces. And they, too, want to live beautifully while devoting their lives to science.
