We were proud to take part in the official launch of the 2025 Catalyser programme last Thursday at Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst!

Pharmidex is excited to support this incredible initiative, which welcomes 8 promising therapeutics companies at (or near) the pre-clinical stage.
Over the next 8 weeks, they’ll sharpen their strategy using the Triple Chasm framework and gain access to a powerful mix of scientific, business, and communication support.
During the launch, our very own
