December 2005
An eventful month for Emendo!

On 13 December, Emendo Bioscience was one of the companies profiled at the celebration of the 10th year of the BBSRC Biotechnology YES competition held at the Dali Universe gallery in London (more info click here).

Rachel Carol said, "I was delighted to be invited to the event. I felt very nostalgic seeing the excitement of this year's finalists and meeting some of the judges and mentors again. Biotechnology YES is a great scheme for scientists to learn how research in biology can be combined with business and entrepreneurship. Happy Birthday, BBSRC Biotechnology YES!"
