“SMEs are the engine of the future, we must support them, we owe it to our patients” - a poignant statement from Nicola Heron, from the Medicines Discovery Catapult. Another great day at the Wilton Centre for a Pioneer Group event, today focusing on how we can tackle the #diseases of the future. Nicola opened the day, talking about the challenge of developing novel effective #medicines in a world that needs to cope with the effects of #climatechange, and the increased we are seeing in infectious diseases and #antimicrobialresistance. Really fascinating talks from Juliana Haggerty from CPI and Kit Erlebach from FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies about UK preparedness for future #pandemics. Prof Muhammad Safwan Akram from Teesside University and Cecilia Wong from The University of Manchester talked about #healthinequalities and how accelerating sustainable bio manufacturing can help reduce such inequalities. Prof John S. Young from National Horizons Centre talked about #wearable devices for managing long term conditions, allowing #patients to be more in control of their own health, receiving treatments sooner. Jess Tyson from CHAIN Biotechnology Ltd talked about #microbiome therapeutics and their potential to treat diseases. John Heap from University of Nottingham talked about the role of #engineeringbiology in scaling up sustainable treatments. Lee Dunham from Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult shared success stories from the Catapult and how collaboration across the ecosystem is accelerating novel #therapies from discovery to patients. Last but not least Linda Popplewell from National Horizons Centre shared her brilliant research in accelerating the translational development of #genetherapies for #rarediseases. One overarching theme is that #collaboration is key in tacking the infectious diseases of the future. We must come together and support each other, and in particular the SME community, to overcome the challenges we face as a society.

Not long until the Pioneer Group's exciting Pioneer Presents event discussing how we can be best prepared for the effects of climate change. CHAIN CSO Dr. Steve Emery will showcase how our novel therapeutics delivery methods could be an integral part of the changing climatic future. 🌡 #bioindustry #biotherapeutics #climatechange #future

We're very excited to announce that we are collaborating with the prestigious DKFZ German Cancer Research Center to develop a novel HPV vaccine! HPV infections account for over 95% of cervical cancers, which are the 4th most prevalent cancers among women. With no currently approved therapeutic options to treat these malignancies, an efficacious therapy is desperately needed. We are looking forward to working with the DKFZ to unlock the potential to changes thousands of lives. #oncology #immunotherapy #vaccine #cancer #collaboration Read the details by clicking below 👇

More and more research is pointing to gut microbiota as an important regulator of health and disease. Microbiome changes that cause inflammation and reduction in commensal bacteria that secrete essential metabolites can be hallmarks of many things, including aging. 👴 Find out how we are utilising commensal bacteria to not only treat disease but also improve microbiome health here: https://lnkd.in/gjEK9cYF

Some of our scientific technical team Ashley, April and Gary the Sino Biological, Inc. snail had a great time chatting to students at Southnottinghamshireacademy last week at their careers fair! Students had a go at DNA extractions and agarose gel loading, and asked some really engaging questions. 🎓 It was brilliant to see so many businesses giving their time to inspire young people 🎉 #schools #stemeducation #career #biotechjobs #outreach #nextgeneration

The team enjoyed a grand day out recently to get a behind the scenes look at the Don Whitley Scientific Ltd headquarters! They were treated to lunch and a tour, learning some of the history behind the anaerobic workstations that are an integral part of our research labs. Thanks to the Don Whitley team for making it so enjoyable! #anaerobic #microbiology #research #dayout

A few weeks ago Pioneer Group took some cool photos of our very own Jonathan Baker working hard in one of our labs! 🔬 Have a read of our latest news releases here: https://lnkd.in/dNAvbArZ #lablife #research #biotherapeutics #preclinical
