Meet Pharmidex at KTN 2016
June 14, 2016

Collaboration opportunities in regenerative medicine

Pharmdiex will be attending the Innvoate UK KTN 2016 meeting focused on New Collaboration Opportunities in Regenerative Medicine.

The KTN in collaboration with Innovate UK, Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult, Department of Health and Kings College London are holding an event focussing on new unmet clinical needs, latest developments in regulatory environment and clinical adoption. Following recent developments and the UK’s Regenerative Medicine Expert Group report recommendations, this event will bring together the UK regenerative medicine communities involving industrialists, academics and clinicians from a number of clinical specialities.


The UK is leading the field in the development of cell and gene therapies. The regulatory system now has a number of mechanisms to accelerate the progress of promising therapies including EAMS and the proposed new PRIME scheme. However, practical challenges still exist to the clinical adoption of these new therapies and getting them to patients, including generating sufficient clinical data, achieving reimbursement and embedding therapies in existing or new clinical pathways).


Leading clinicians and experts from a number of organisations will be presenting at this event. Directors and managers from major funding organisations, e.g. Innovate UK, Research Councils, relevant charities will also be invited to support this event.


The main aims of this event are as follows;


  • To discuss challenges affecting clinical adoption of cell and gene-based therapies.
  • Facilitate new clinician/industry collaborations in a number of areas of clinical specialities.
  • Identify barriers to innovation and commercialisation.
  • Review current funding opportunities and identify funding gaps.
  • Provide networking opportunities to identify collaborating partners.
  • Review supporting mechanisms available to accelerate innovation and commercialisation through KTN and partners Innovate UK, Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult organisations.
  • Review current pre-clinical and clinical trials and identify best practice to accelerate regulatory approvals

Advancing Preclinical Respiratory Research with Plethysmography

April 9, 2026
Pharmidex partners with Data Sciences International (DSI) to utilise industry-leading whole body plethysmography (WBP) systems, incorporating the patented Halcyon® pneumotach noise suppression technology. This enables the delivery of high-quality preclinical respiratory studies with enhanced clarity, sensitivity and confidence. By leveraging the robustness of DSI’s WBP platform alongside Pharmidex’s scientific expertise, we offer well-characterised models to assess: • Cough responses • Hypercapnic challenge responses • Functional respiratory changes across disease states such as asthma This integrated approach supports reliable and translatable assessment of airway function, disease progression and therapeutic efficacy, helping to de-risk programmes and drive better decision-making in preclinical development. Always keen to hear how others are advancing respiratory endpoints in their studies.

Pharmidex is now a partner in the European Innovation Council

April 1, 2026
We’re pleased to share that Pharmidex has been selected as a partner in the EIC - European Innovation Council Ecosystem Partnership Programme. Our services are now featured on the EIC Service Catalogue, making them accessible to innovative companies and projects supported by the EIC across Europe. This is a great opportunity to further support cutting-edge biotech and life sciences programmes by providing: 🔬 Preclinical in vivo pharmacology 🧪 Bioanalysis (LC–MS/MS, qPCR, ELISA) 📊 Translational and mechanistic studies 🧫 Histology and pathology We look forward to working with EIC beneficiaries and contributing to the development of the next generation of therapies. If you are part of the EIC ecosystem and looking for a flexible, science-led CRO partner, we would be delighted to connect.

👏 Congratulations to our collaborators on their recent publications

March 26, 2026
We are delighted to congratulate EpiEndo Pharmaceuticals and the Institute of Pharmaceutical Science, King's College London on the publication of two exciting studies exploring the therapeutic potential of EP395: 📄 “ The Effect of the Novel Macrolide Glasmacinal (EP395) on Allergen-Induced Eosinophil Infiltration into the Lung” published in "Lung" 📄 “Effects of EP395, a novel macrolide, on acute neutrophilic airway inflammation” published in "Pulmonary Pharmacology & Therapeutics" These studies provide valuable insights into the role of EP395 in modulating inflammatory responses in respiratory disease, supporting its potential as a novel therapeutic approach. At Pharmidex , we are proud to have contributed to this work through our Respiratory Department, supporting the in vivo studies and helping advance these important findings. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and supporting innovative programmes in respiratory drug discovery and development.
