Syntaxin Ltd

Syntaxin was a successful biotech spun out of the HPA that was developed by myself and my management team, with the help if course of our excellent scientists, to a stage for acquisition to ensure the further investment in the recombinant botulinum toxin technology. Ipsen acquired Syntaxin in July 2013 and the site continues as Ipsen's centre for toxin engineering, complementing well the Ipsen expertise in toxin biology. I left Syntaxin with the acquisition and now work through Think10 as I discuss new opportunities.

Occupational Health Specialist

It takes passion and a lot of interest in people to create a successful company.  I have a nursing background and have been working in healthcare and clinical research for several years.  I have become aware that so many medical developments fail to reach commercialisation, for the simple reason that they are not acceptable to or needed by patients. I use my unique experience at the coal-face of healthcare to build medical start-up companies to ensure that novel ideas always "beginning with the patient in mind".
