Company of the Year
The award for the coveted Company of the Year award went to Intercell.
This award was richly deserved for Intercell, which is based in Vienna and was shortlisted in no less than three categories on the night.
Entertainment
As always the after-dinner entertainment proved to be a big hit at this year's awards. Top comedian Dominic Holland entertained the European Mediscience Awards Dinner audience with his unique brand of sharp observational humour.
Introduction
The mediscience club just gets bigger and bigger!
The mediscience awards dinner is now in its 9th year and will once again be held at the Hotel Intercontinental, London W1 on Thursday 24 June 2010.
The event this year will be sponsored by Piper Jaffray and will have a European focus; we are anticipating strong representation from European mediscience companies, European analysts and European and US investors, as well as London quoted mediscience companies, corporate advisors, analysts and investors.
This awards dinner has established itself as one of the largest ever gatherings of publicly quoted biotech and lifescience companies in the UK, and an absolute "must attend" event for anybody involved in these sectors.
