We had great fun networking, supporting wellbeing, nurturing our community and raising money for Stevenage based STEMPOINT, the educational charity dedicated to widening access into science, engineering, maths and technology subjects across EastAnglia.
Over 30 players took part in the cross-campus sports event, we welcomed teams from GSK, ImmuONE, Tessellate BIO, Neobe Therapeutics, Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst, Pharmidex, MFX, Antikor Biopharma Ltd – and of course STEMPOINT - who came to join us.
Congratulations goes to Ash Alavijeh from Pharmidex who won best player of the rally!

At Pharmidex , we offer Brief Access Taste Aversion (BATA) testing, which is a behavioural assay that quantifies how test subjects respond to different compounds or formulations by measuring lick response and aversion. This helps identify: ✅ Bitter-tasting APIs ✅ Unpalatable excipients ✅ The success of taste-masking strategies ✅ Formulation-dependent compliance risks Get in touch if you’re developing oral formulations, paediatric drugs, or repurposing bitter APIs, this could be the data your IND package needs.
