Correct (although I'd say more simply it's the name given to the expanded Edinburgh Royal Infirmary campus, which now includes various academic, Government, and commercial research institutes as well as the ERI and the new Children's Hospital: "Sick Kids")The bioquarter is actually the area around the Royal Infirmary, at Little France
I guess you're thinking of the Easter Bush campus, which has the University of Edinburgh Vet School (and associated animal hospitals), the Roslin Institute (most famous for the creation of Dolly the sheep), some of the Government environmental research labs (Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, and Forestry Research), as well as some other commercial science organisations (the whole area is sometimes branded as the Midlothian Science Zone https://midlothiansciencezone.com/).Roslyn. About 8 miles south of the centre
I'm probably biased (given I'm a Scottish-based scientist), but I've heard the name banded around since well before Covid - the development of the area is formally a partnership between Edinburgh Uni, NHS, Scottish Government (via Scottish Enterprise) and City of Edinburgh Council: https://edinburghbioquarter.com/I think the city council are using it a lot and tying to make it a thing
