Inaphaea BioLabs launch event
On 26 September, we hosted an official launch event for Inaphaea BioLabs at MediCity Nottingham, supported by BioNow.
We’d like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who attended the event – from our neighbours and industry friends to collaborators and partners - to network and share insights and ideas. A special thanks goes to the keynote speakers, company showcase speakers, and to BioNow for helping us make this event possible.
The afternoon started with coffee and lunch, followed by a warm welcome from BioNow’s Stella James and Inaphaea’s Head of Strategic Development Dr Andrew Carnegie.
Our company showcases came next, with fascinating talks from HistologiX's Head of Client Management Dr Peter De'Ath, Inspiralis Ltd's Managing Director Natassja Bush, Venomtech Ltd's Founder & CSO Steve Trim and Agility Life Sciences' Founder and CEO Professor Claire Thompson.
Guests enjoyed a tour of our laboratory and an exclusive look at our brand-new set up, which was closely followed by keynote speeches from our team. Inaphaea’s Scientific Consultant Dr Gareth Griffiths spoke about patient-derived cells in drug discovery and Chief Scientific Officer Cathy Tralau-Stewart discussed drug discovery attrition and the role of human-based cells in drug discovery.
We’re looking forward to sharing photos and videos from the event – stay tuned for more!
