“ELRIG goes from strength to strength and this year’s meeting will be the meeting place for all involved in Drug Discovery,” said ELRIG General Manager Sanj Kumar. He continued: “ELRIG’s growth from a small gathering of like-minded individuals to the hosts of the largest drug discovery event in Europe in itself speaks volumes for ELRIG’s ability to spot emerging trends and to cater to all aspects of the drug discovery industry.  We cannot wait to host over 1000 delegates and treat them to the latest and best innovations for the industry.”

Steve Rees, VP Screening Sciences and Sample Management at AstraZeneca and Chairman of ELRIG commented: “I am delighted and honoured to be Chair of ELRIG once again and especially proud of the event that will take place in London this year.  The quality of the scientific presentations together with the opportunity to engage with colleagues from across the field, and to view the largest vendor exhibition of its type in Europe, makes this a must attend event. I look forward to the meeting in London as ELRIG continues its mission to provide freely accessible high quality scientific content and networking opportunities to the scientific community.”
