This October, Discovery Park are proud to be participating in the Wear It Pink event to raise vital funds for Breast Cancer Now—an incredible charity dedicated to research, support, and care for those affected by breast cancer. 🎀

  • Wear it Pink: Show your support by wearing something pink on Wednesday 22nd October and help raise awareness! Want your team to choose a different date, no problem! We encourage pink all month!
  • Share: Spread the word! Share this page with your family and friends to help us reach our goal.

Together, we can take steps toward a future where breast cancer no longer takes lives. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support!

Let’s wear it pink and make a difference!

Discover the Lab of the Future

Event: 14th October 2026, Discovery Park

The pressure on pharma is coming from two directions at once: faster, and greener. AI, automation and green chemistry are the answers taking shape. Join industry leaders, researchers and technology innovators at Discovery Park for a half-day event on 14 October. 

The agenda features expert-led sessions on digital laboratories, AI in drug discovery, green chemistry and sustainable manufacturing, plus an exhibition of laboratory technologies and sustainability solutions. 

Asymchem will also be offering guided tours to attendees, opening the doors to their laboratories and pilot plant. Their Discovery Park facility is an innovation hub for clinical small molecule development and GMP manufacturing, equipped with sustainability-focused flow chemistry and biotransformation screening.

Whether you’re working at the bench, leading an R&D function or driving operational change, this is a rare opportunity to walk through the lab of the future — and to connect with the people building it, with a networking breakfast and lunch. 

 

This is a free event. Places are limited — view the full agenda and reserve your place here

Organised by Discovery Park and sponsored by Asymchem, Particology, Venner Shipley and the IChemE Pharma Group. 

Keynote speakers will be announced in the coming weeks.
