Reflecting on our time so far here at ApconiX
“For me, moving to ApconiX has been a brilliant experience. The range of experience within the team and the willingness of everyone within the company to help our clients and our colleagues is second to none. Whilst I’m busier than I ever have been, I am genuinely working with friends on interesting science projects every day. ”
Laurence Bishop , Head of Business Development and Deputy Director

Will Humfrey, Senior Scientist (Safety Science)
“ApconiX is more than just the science we produce; it is the community handmade alongside it. You simply can’t avoid the passion and creativity of the individuals around you when you walk into the office or laboratory. I believe ApconiX have created an environment fit for any early career professional by providing continued and unwavering support. I am so grateful for team and their commitment to my development which inspires me to become a better scientist every day.”
Sophia Tomlinson, Industry Placement Student
“The best thing about ApconiX is the people. Working here allows you to use your expertise and learn from colleagues with different toxicological specializations. Everyone here is open, collaborative and focused on providing the best support to our clients. ”
Helen Garside, Senior Toxicologist (Safety Science)
“ApconiX is the first company of my career that makes me feel like I belong. The team is very friendly and helpful, and the managers truly care about our well-being. The directors are always making sure we are happy: When I approached Mike Morton last year about trying a different side of the business, while staying in the lab team, he quickly came back to me with an opportunity in the marketing team. I am very grateful for this evolution and flexibility!”
Magali-Anne Maizieres, Senior Scientist (Laboratory)
“This is my first role since finishing my PhD and I feel very fortunate to have started my career with such an amazing company. The welcoming and friendly environment has made the transition from academia to industry easy, and with a wealth of toxicology knowledge to draw from, entering a new field has been exciting. In particular, I like knowing that my work is contributing to the development of NAMs and I’m looking forward to seeing where we can take the MEA technology!”
Katie Newman, Senior Scientist (Laboratory)
“I have loved working for ApconiX so far, the work is so varied and there are always new challenges to tackle and information to learn. The whole ApconiX team are extremely experienced within their individual fields but also extremely friendly and approachable and always willing to teach you something new to help with personal development.”
Jo Wilson, Senior Project Manager, (Toxicology and DMPK Consultancy)
“What I particularly love about working at ApconiX is the way the team embraces new ideas and respects a healthy work-life balance. This openness stimulates creativity and innovation. One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is the variety it offers. I can contribute to TSAs as well as other capability projects, where I can apply my knowledge of Neuroscience. This variety, combined with the opportunity to continuously learn about biology and the interconnectedness of the human body, gives me a sense of purpose and the joy of seeing the bigger picture in science.”
Aina Mogas Barcon, Senior Scientist (Safety Science)
“It is because of the extended knowledge base and skillset that is available, as well as the friendly yet professional culture, that I love working at ApconiX. Not only is it extremely rewarding supporting clients with their development programmes, but the personal learning potential is huge. No one day is ever the same, the science of what we are working on is so fascinating, so the fact I am involved with data and report reviews on the projects is just so rewarding!”
Pauline Garner, Project Discipline Lead (Toxicology and DMPK Consultancy)
As demand grows so must our team, so we are continually looking for scientists with the right background, attitude and experience to join us. Drug safety remains one of the leading causes of project attrition and our clients rely on us to guide them through drug discovery and development in an open and constructive way. As such it is vitally important that both the advice we provide, and the way in which we engage with our clients, are outstanding.
We work very much as a group to ensure the client benefits from the collective wisdom of the team. We are collaborative, keen to learn from each other and to share our learning and experience for the benefit of our clients. ApconiX guards its independence to ensure we deliver the right advice and services for each client. We have developed strong relationships with all major CROs, and service providers.
At the heart of what we do is the science. This integrity has helped establish our reputation.
Working with biotech, pharma, academia and research institutes, we are innovative in our thinking and mindful of each client’s individual needs and objectives. We are also understanding of each team member’s own situation and aspirations, and encourage a flexible approach to work.
If you feel you could contribute to the ApconiX team, we would love to hear from you. Please email the Directors at hello@apconix.com. We are always looking to expand our expertise.
