October 2026 saw Domainex attend the annual ELRIG Drug Discovery conference, hosted at the Excel in London. ELRIG Drug Discovery is a leading conference in Europe, which is attended by many different CROs, biotechs, pharmaceutical manufacturing companies and more. The conference offers a chance for scientists to present their new and innovative research, discuss ideas, and explore new and exciting drug discovery collaborations.
Domainex staff were involved in the event at all levels; from volunteering as Red Shirts, conveying our science through posters and talks, and also exploring potential collaboration opportunities at our Domainex booth (right). In total, we had 16 attendees across the disciplines of medicinal research, and at all levels of experience.
Our Volunteers
Domainex is proud to host a number of talented apprentices and scientists who were volunteering as ‘red shirts’ at the event, performing duties such as helping with registrations, guiding delegates around the event space, and participating in workshops, such as ‘mini-DD’ for early career professionals (ECPs). Two of our volunteers, Chloe Eeles, and Rose Bigley also gave poster presentation outlining different areas of our work, including our PureDisc™ platform and our fragment-based drug discovery workflow which can be applied to RNA drug discovery.
Whilst the red shirts were ensuring the event was running to plan, Senior Scientist I Alicia Overall, was performing her duties as a member of the ECP workgroup. Such responsibilities included interviewing members, delegates, and speakers about their ELRIG experience, while also judging the Kirsty Smitten award and ECP poster prize.
