✦ Synopsis

The 18 th annual symposium of the International Isotope Society's United Kingdom Group took place at the Wellcome Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge, UK on 12 th November 2009. The meeting was attended by around 85 delegates from academia, the life sciences, chemical, radiochemical and scientific instrument suppliers.

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 an afternoon session chaired by Prof Chris Willis (University of Bristol, UK) and Mr Mike Chappelle (Quotient Biosciences) respectively. In addition, a short presentation on the forthcoming 11 th Triennial International IIS Symposium due to take place in Heidelberg in 2012 was given by Dr Jens Atzrodt (sanofi-aventis) on behalf of the international organising committee. The UK meeting concluded with remarks from Dr Ken Lawrie (GlaxoSmithKline, Stevenage, UK). This year's UK symposium had a good attendance from students. Moreover, an excellent level of sponsorship was achieved, and the symposium proved self-financing. The Hinxton meeting venue again proved very popular. The next UK symposium is provisionally planned at the same venue for the 14 th October 2010.
