The centre is a registered charity, governed by a board of trustees, which receives no public funding. HistoryThe Centre was opened by the Queen in May 2000.[2] In March 2009 the centre was the main venue for the UK's first Maker Faire,[3] run as part of the Newcastle ScienceFest. The 2010 Newcastle Maker Faire was held at the Centre for Life and the nearby Discovery Museum. Maker Faire UK returned to the Centre for Life in 2013, at which over 300 hackers, crafters, coders, DIYers and inventors presented their projects alongside installations and drop-in workshops. Maker Faire UK is now an annual event, taking place on the last weekend of April each year at Life Science Centre.[4] Life Science CentreThe Life Science Centre is a visitor attraction at the International Centre for Life. It has a changing programme of events made up of temporary and permanent exhibitions, a Science Theatre, a planetarium and a 4D Motion Ride.[2] Exhibitions and activitiesThe centre provides employment for some 600 people.[2] Partners in the Centre for Life include Newcastle University.[5] The Curiosity Zone is a 100% hands-on exhibition which encourages creativity and experimentation, inviting visitors to play with the exhibits, collaborating and communicating to make discoveries and creations,[6] while the Experiment Zone allows visitors to try out laboratory-style experiments such as DNA extraction[7] and the Brain Zone explores how the human brain works.[8] Each year a new temporary exhibition is hosted or launched in May, often a major touring exhibition such as Body Worlds Vital in 2014.[9] In the winter months, Times Square is host to an open-air ice rink.[10] Medical researchNewcastle Fertility Centre was established in 1991 at the RVI, later moving to the Centre for Life and officially opened by Professor Lord Robert Winston on 22 February 2000. As well as treating infertile couples, it carries out research and development into new fertility treatments.[11] Scientists based at The Centre for Life are the first people in Europe - and only the second in the world - to get a license for stem cell research on human embryos. The license will allow work on new treatments for conditions including diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.[12] In 2005 scientists based at the centre were the first to successfully clone a human embryo.[13] The NHS Northern Genetics Service is part of the Institute of Genetic Medicine. The main purpose of the Northern Genetics Service is to provide comprehensive and fully integrated clinical and laboratory services to the highest of standards that can help reduce the incidence of illnesses associated with genetic disease.[14] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/News/2010/Features/WTX062457.htm |title=Centres of Attention: Centre for Life |publisher=Wellcome Trust |date=2010-08-12 |accessdate=2011-12-17}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=A-ggCwAAQBAJ&pg=PT163&lpg=PT163&dq=centre+for+life+opened+by+the+queen+newcastle+2000&source=bl&ots=WSPSqedDZg&sig=hqBfHWAQXQFJ3dv71zAtrvn0edY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi6zfy9gODZAhWKSsAKHelVBXcQ6AEISTAE#v=onepage&q=centre%20for%20life%20opened%20by%20the%20queen%20newcastle%202000&f=false|title=2000:centre for life|publisher=Evening Chronicle|date=23 May 2000|accessdate=9 March 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://makerfaire.com/newcastle/2009/ |title=2009 Maker Faire UK |publisher=O'Reilly Media |year=2009 |accessdate=2009-03-29 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090301004444/http://makerfaire.com/newcastle/2009/ |archivedate=1 March 2009 |df=dmy-all }} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://makerfaireuk.com |title=Maker Faire UK|accessdate=9 March 2018}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/centre-finds-life-is-great-1681595 |title=Centre Finds Life Is Great |publisher=The Evening Chronicle |date=23 May 2001 |accessdate=1 May 2017}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.life.org.uk/events/curiosity-zone|title=Curiosity Zone|publisher=Centre for Life |accessdate=24 January 2016}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.life.org.uk/whats-on/experiment-zone |title=Experiment Zone |publisher=Centre for Life |accessdate=24 January 2016}} 8. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.life.org.uk/events/brain-zone |title=Brain Zone |publisher=Centre for Life |accessdate=24 January 2016}} 9. ^{{cite web|author=Mercedes Broadbent |url=http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/whats-on/family-kids-news/body-worlds-centre-life-newcastle-6833133 |title=Body Worlds at the Centre for Life in Newcastle: Your guide to the Body Worlds event in May |publisher=Chronicle Live |date=2014-03-23 |accessdate=2018-03-09}} 10. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.newcastlegateshead.com/things-to-do/life-science-centre-p24831 |title=Life Science Centre |publisher=Newcastle Gateshead |accessdate=24 January 2016}} 11. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.nfc-life.com/index1.html |title=Newcastle Fertility Centre at Life |publisher= |accessdate=2009-03-29 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080211194416/http://www.nfc-life.com/index1.html |archivedate=11 February 2008 |df=dmy-all }} 12. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.ncl.ac.uk/press.office/press.release/content.phtml?ref=1092310385 |title=Green light for stem cell research |publisher=Newcastle University |date=2004-08-12 |accessdate=2008-12-04 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20041211125621/http://www.ncl.ac.uk/press.office/press.release/content.phtml?ref=1092310385 |archivedate=11 December 2004 |df=dmy-all }} 13. ^{{cite web|author=Rachael Oakden |url=https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2016/feb/11/life-science-centre-newcastle-family-day-trips-out |title=Take the kids to … Life Science Centre, Newcastle upon Tyne | Travel |publisher=The Guardian |date= |accessdate=2018-03-09}} 14. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.newcastle-hospitals.org.uk/services/northern-genetics.aspx |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2016-04-02 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160414220731/http://www.newcastle-hospitals.org.uk/services/northern-genetics.aspx |archivedate=14 April 2016 |df=dmy }} External links
