Addex Therapeutics, with whom we are collaborating on a Eurostars grant project.
A big thank you to our interns from City St George’s, University of London and heir fantastic contribution to Pharmidex over the past few months. They have supported scientific projects across the business, developed valuable technical skills and gained hands-on experience within a CRO environment. Their contribution has extended beyond the laboratory, helping with our website, marketing materials, conference preparation and business development activities. Science drives success, but communicating that science effectively is just as important. Our interns have helped us do both. Thank you for your hard work, enthusiasm, and dedication. We wish you every success in the next stage of your careers.
