At the #iodnwawards at midland hotel celebrating regional successes. @AlderleyPark and the Biohub has been nominated for an award for innovation. Amazing.

A review of licensing and BD deals in biotech @biotrinity showed the wide variety of deal structure now in play. M&A, partner early, late, options. A lot of ideas for SMEs such as those at @AlderleyPark. US tax changes may impact there significantly. Talent always key.

[Chris Doherty @chrisdohertyAP]

A really interesting talk on the development of cell and Gene therapy at @biotrinity today. It’s only 6 years since the first patient was treated. Now a major new sector is emerging. Manufacturing is a key issue. But our NHS is seen to be well positioned to take on board.

[Chris Doherty @chrisdohertyAP]

The future of life science investment under discussion at @biotrinity. In California tech investors now putting serious money into medtech and biotech. Also 2017 a high point for global life science investments. Interesting for the cluster @AlderleyPark.

[Chris Doherty @chrisdohertyAP]

The status of machine learning and neural networks in drug discovery has been debated at @biotrinity today. Can human creativity be coded? It can make parts of the drug discovery process more productive and handle the vast array of data. An area to watch for the future.

[Chris Doherty @chrisdohertyAP]

Attending with @AlderleyPark at @biotrinity and an interesting talk this morning on the potential role of quantum mechanic theories on biological systems and could it explain some changes such as DNA mutation.

Good news for keen cycling scientists... https://t.co/v3KfGTfSza

[Alderley Park @AlderleyPark]

Fantastic news as @CheshireEast secure £1.6m funding boost for new #walkways and #cycle routes, including adding provision along the A538 corridor near @WatersCorp, and providing a link to Alderley Park. https://t.co/6heMkxET8P

Visited @MiltonPark and saw their current site layout and list of biotech’s that have grown successfully on the site. Inspiring to see how scaling has worked in recent years.

[Chris Doherty @chrisdohertyAP]

Great evening last night with @TweetsbyMSP and @Bruntwood_UK at @msimanchester hosting prospective companies and customers. Thanks to all our guests!

[Chris Doherty @chrisdohertyAP]

I visited @MediconVillage in Lund Sweden to see the excellent progress with the biocluster there - a former AZ site with an oncology focus. Looking to find ways to collaborate between @AlderleyPark and Lund.

[Chris Doherty @chrisdohertyAP]

Proud to be part of @TweetsbyMSP Mereside Campus at @AlderleyPark as msp hails another strong year with a 10% increase in group net worth. Now there are 65 SMEs at Alderley Park and I’m looking forward to further new companies arriving. https://t.co/cIXjp06qAz

I enjoyed talking about @AlderleyPark today at @PlaceNorthWest event at MOSI in Manchester as part of the cluster of science parks here. Retaining and recruiting more talent always a key theme. Need an international school perhaps.

[Chris Doherty @chrisdohertyAP]

Great to discuss SME growth and the need to train new PhDs for a career in SMEs with @EstherMcVey1 last Friday during a visit to @AlderleyPark and the @TheAMRCentre.

[Chris Doherty @chrisdohertyAP]

Looking forward to meeting Esther Mcvey MP at Alderley Park tomorrow to meet a selection of biotech SMEs CEOs who are creating jobs and growing their companies within the now 60 stong biotech cluster. Scientists wanted!

[Chris Doherty @chrisdohertyAP]

Today we hosted the first of our new science seminars at @alderleypark. Prof Stefan Przyborski @Durham_uni and Dr David Bunton @ReproCELLInc discussed 3D cell culture and the development of humanised cell models as better predictors to man and thus help speed up drug discovery.

[Chris Doherty @chrisdohertyAP]

@Bruntwood_UK Excellent financial results for the owner and developer of the #Alderleypark vision.

[Chris Doherty @chrisdohertyAP]

I am looking forward to the new science seminar series at @AlderleyPark. Open to all. https://t.co/1RGpumoGqG

[Alderley Park @AlderleyPark]

Last chance to register for our first Alderley Park Science Seminar. What a better way to end the week? See you there.
