Syntaxin Ltd

Syntaxin was a successful biotech spun out of the HPA that was developed by myself and my management team, with the help if course of our excellent scientists, to a stage for acquisition to ensure the further investment in the recombinant botulinum toxin technology. Ipsen acquired Syntaxin in July 2013 and the site continues as Ipsen's centre for toxin engineering, complementing well the Ipsen expertise in toxin biology. I left Syntaxin with the acquisition and now work through Think10 as I discuss new opportunities.
