We are excited to announce we are six years old. During those six years we have moved through three locations each time getting bigger and better. Now located in the amazing Discovery Park Community. We have shipped venoms to customers far and wide (USA, Europe, India and Australia). But most importantly we have facilitated work in a wide range of drug discovery programmes including new antibiotics, GPCR ligands, Pain therapeutics and Cancer biology. We have also gained a deep understanding of the venoms and the venomous animals (more publications to come). Looking forward we expect to further grow into the cosmetics and personal care fields as well as our global reach in pharmaceutical research.

Interviewing potential PhD students for our joint project to combat this devastating disease with Canterbury Christ Church University CCCU news link. There are many challenges with Pancreatic cancer stemming from the lack of understanding of the disease, often a late diagnosis which leads to a very poor prognosis. In collaboration with the excellent scientists at Canterbury Christ Church University and their new laboratory in Discovery Park we will be building knowledge and discovering potential therapies for pancreatic cancer. Here is the Venomtech team proudly displaying our purple gloves in support of Pancreatic Cancer UK

May 2014 was a significant milestone for Venomtech – moving to Discovery Park six months ago has enabled us to adopt excellent working relations with other DP tenants, and has ensured that we are continuing to grow from strength to strength.

During our short time here we have had much success in the way of publicity, appearing in the South East Business Magazine (August edition), and featured in the Spider House documentary for BBC4 in October.

As pictured below The Venomtech team also won the ‘Best of Britain’ award from Best Practice Industry UK publication. Details on page seven.

In November, ‘I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!’ presented a unique opportunity for our MD Steve to help journalists at The Sun newspaper understand the impact venomous animals have had in curing human disease.

2015 will see Venomtech into its fifth year and we look forward to many more years to come at Discovery Park.
