✦ Synopsis

The 16th annual symposium of the International Isotope Society's United Kingdom Group took place at the Wellcome Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge, UK on 1st November 2007. The meeting was attended by around 100 delegates from academia, the life sciences and fine chemical companies.

Delegates were welcomed by Dr Ken Lawrie (GlaxoSmithKline, UK, chair of the IIS (UK group). The subsequent scientific programme consisted of oral and poster presentations on isotopic chemistry and applications of labelled compounds, or of chemistry with potential implications for isotopic synthesis. Both short-lived and long-lived isotopes were represented, as were stable isotopes. The symposium programme was divided into a morning and afternoon session chaired by Dr Franklin Aigbirhio (WBIC, University of Cambridge, UK) and Prof. Chris Willis (University of Bristol, UK), respectively. The meeting concluded with remarks from Dr Ken Lawrie (GlaxoSmithKline, Stevenage, UK). This year's symposium had a large attendance from students. Moreover, an excellent level of sponsorship was achieved, and the symposium proved self-financing. The meeting venue again proved very popular. The next UK symposium is provisionally planned at the same venue for 9th October 2008.
