Microbiotica Highly Commended at Cambridge Independent Science and Technology Awards

Microbiotica, a leading player in microbiome-based therapeutics and biomarkers, has been highly commended in the “Life Science Company of the Year” category at the 4th Cambridge Independent Science and Technology Awards.

The Company was recognised for its transformational technology and significant progress over the past year. Recent achievements include a key new strategic collaboration with Cancer Research UK and Cambridge University Hospitals, progressing lead programmes in ulcerative colitis and immuno-oncology towards the clinic, and moving into purpose-configured facilities at Chesterford Research Park.

Mike Romanos, CEO of Microbiotica, said: “We are proud to be recognised for the milestones we have achieved this past year. Despite challenging conditions, we have progressed our ongoing programmes, expanded and strengthened our team, signed a key strategic collaboration, and moved to our new facility in Chesterford Research Park, so we can now house all our scientists in the same building for the first time. I would like to congratulate all the winners and highly commended entries and thank the entire Microbiotica team for their continued efforts.”

The Cambridge Independent Science and Technology Awards recognise outstanding life science and biotechnology companies in Cambridge. The ceremony took place virtually in a bespoke interactive environment, and was attended by leaders of businesses, organisations and research institutes across the Cambridge region on April 15, 2021.
