Tom Mander, CEO
International collaboration and awards success with more to come in 2024
As we approach the conclusion of another eventful year, it's a perfect moment to pause and reflect on the journey we've undertaken. Although 2023 is not yet complete, it has been a year filled with awards and acknowledgments for the work done here at Domainex. The third and fourth quarters have been no exception, marked by significant achievements.
We were delighted to launch our new Direct-to-Biology service earlier this month and look forward to applying this to more of our clients’ drug discovery projects. Please do get in touch if you would like to find out more about this approach which combines plate-based chemistry with rapid screening to accelerate research programmes.
I extend my gratitude to our shareholders for their unwavering support in our growth, and I take immense pride in acknowledging the hard work and dedication of my colleagues. Without their commitment, we would not be in this exciting position, looking forward to 2024 with ambitious plans. I would also like to express our appreciation to all our clients, both longstanding and new, for entrusting us with such exciting projects. We eagerly anticipate our continued collaboration in 2024.
We are thrilled to announce our recent success in multiple prestigious business awards. On top of the King’s Award for Enterprise that Domainex was awarded in April this year, we have been further recognised for our commitment to excellence and innovation.
- Life Science Scale-Up at the Business Weekly Awards
- Gold for High Growth Business of the Year and Silver for Business of the Year (>50 employees) at the Cambridge Independent SME Awards

Forging powerful connections
Domainex scientists attended the SCI-RSC 22nd Medicinal Chemistry Symposium where Anna Hopkins presented a poster on the identification of novel hit chemotypes by covalent fragment screening and binding site identification using proteolytic digestion and high-resolution LCMS.
We have attended numerous other events including BioEurope, Discovery on Target, Pharma Integrates and Genesis.
Out of the lab and onto the pitch
The Domainex football team played in a charity match against Charles River Laboratories winning 6-4 and raising money for SNAP charity, a local charity for families with children and young people who have any additional need or disability.
Bringing new life to Sawston Village College's wellbeing garden
And finally the CSR committee at Domainex organised for a group of volunteers to go to Sawston Village College to help revive their wellbeing garden. The wellbeing garden was widely used by teachers and students as a place to relax and escape the stresses of modern life but needed some TLC. Read more here.
