Recently, the Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt MP hosted a ‘Treasury Connect’
conference at Scale Space at Imperial's White City Campus. It is part of a series of events based on one of the Chancellor’s growth sectors: Life Sciences.

The event brought together policymakers, academics and leading industry figures to explore how to drive growth across the Life Sciences sector and maintain the UK’s global competitiveness.

At the event, the Chancellor spoke about the “tremendous strength” of Britain’s entrepreneurial
companies across life sciences, as well as referring to key challenges faced by the Life Sciences sector, including innovation adoption in the NHS, pricing negotiations in the voluntary scheme for branded medicines pricing and access, and questions around clinical trials, onshoring manufacturing and regulations.

Professor Hugh Brady, President of Imperial College London said at the event: “Imperial’s White City Campus embodies the UK’s science superpower ambitions. In this vibrant part of the capital, academics, clinicians, entrepreneurs and established industry are co-locating and co-creating on an unprecedented scale - driving economic growth, transforming lives, and bolstering the UK’s reputation as a destination of choice for life sciences innovation.”

Imperial’s White City Campus anchors the White City Innovation District - a new innovation district and hub which boasts a thriving life sciences community and is emerging as an economic and cultural hotspot in West London. A series of life sciences companies – including Novartis, Autolus, Gamma Delta and Synthace - are now based in residence in the region.

Medella Life partners with Eden Reforestation Projects, who work tirelessly to reverse the damage and reverse the threat of deforestation. Through Eden, we have committed to planting 500 trees for each and every placement made.

Q&A #6
For how long is the land protected and under what agreement?

Thanks to our in-country staff’s hard work, Eden Reforestation Projects has developed deep and respectful relationships within all levels of community and government departments. In every case, Eden Reforestation Projects makes concerted efforts to form and secure written agreements with a clause leading to a perpetual forest. Further, to ensure protection in perpetuity, our funding strategy includes salaries for guards during the extended time period required to hire locals who restore the region’s forest.
Finally, Eden has also established a guard endowment with the strategic objective of funding site guards after the regional forest is fully restored.⠀⠀⠀⠀

The Life Sciences is an exciting industry, constantly evolving and leading the way in innovation.

With one of the most innovative years for Life Sciences now behind us, 2022 will likely continue with this momentum, remaining competitive in this changing environment, and companies must remain innovative, continue to expand their digital product lines and address new topline market trends.

Trend 7: ESG Strategy Focused On Innovation

Both pharmaceutical and biotech companies have identified new drugs and treatments with their own research & development efforts for many years. As these companies have continued to grow and expand their product lines, they’re also turning increasingly more to strategic initiatives to help them bring their new therapies to market.

The Life Sciences industry is moving toward a model of social impact focused on ESG Environment, Sustainability, Governance) and customised therapies for specific patient populations. It's becoming increasingly difficult for big pharma and biotech companies to manage the ex*****on of these programs in-house.

If Life Sciences companies want to remain competitive, they must look to manufacturing and supply chain partners that can help them streamline processes as well as socially responsible products that support environmental goals. This may help to meet not only financial benchmarks but also the patient-centric benchmarks that will likely take hold in the future.⠀⠀⠀

On this day in 2005, the great American microbiologist Albert Schatz, passed away. Today, we remember the groundbreaking work that Albert did for the industry. He was best known for the discovery of the antibiotic streptomycin, a first known effective drug for the treatment of tuberculosis.

Schatz was a 23 year old graduate student, working in the Rutgers University laboratory of Selman A.Waksman, an eminent microbiologist. Dr. Waksman gradually assumed sole public credit for the discovery of streptomycin and in 1952, Dr. Waksman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for work leading to the development of streptomycin. Although the Nobel prize still went ahead to Waksman, Schatz later successfully won a court settlement regarding ownership and a significant cut to the profits of the drug, and it was only later in 1994 that Dr. Schatz was awarded the Rutgers University Medal, the university's highest honor, for his work on streptomycin.

Streptomycin was one of the first in an emerging class of drugs derived from actinomycetes, threadlike bacteria found in soil. Hailed as a miracle drug, it was considered the first effective treatment for not only tuberculosis, but also a number of ‘gram-negative’ organisms, including those that cause typhoid, tularemia and plague. Streptomycin was particularly valuable because ‘gram-negative’ organisms did not typically respond to the arsenal of penicillin and sulfa drugs.⠀⠀

Kjetil is the Nordic Lead at Medella Life.

Upon graduating university, Kjetil moved to the UK where he started his career in sales in perhaps one of the toughest areas: street fundraising. This taught him not only how to build relationships effectively with new people, but also how to excel in a performance-based environment.

Bringing this with him to Medella Life, as well as using all he has learnt from his experienced mentor Matthew Vesty, he is now building long-lasting relationships with clients and candidates, as well as expanding Medella's Nordic portfolio.

Kjetil is meticulous and diligent when matching clients and candidates, ensuring everyone leaves the table with exceptional results.
