Dr Pawel Sledz
Dr Pawel Sledz is interested in structure-based development of small molecules to combat cancer, in particular targeting proteins involved in epitranscriptomic and epigenetic regulation. Postranscriptional modifications of RNA constitute a novel and very exciting opportunity for drug discovery, particularly in oncology. His team pioneered structural and chemical biology studies of m6A-modification machinery, and leveraged on these findings to develop chemical probes targeting m6A-relevant protein targets (protein-RNA interactions and RNA-modifying proteins), active in the cellular models of cancer.

Simon Lewis
Simon Lewis has worked in technology innovation for over 30 years. Currently Director of Product for PitPat – the activity monitor for dogs – he’s previously invented, developed and marketed many technologies that have changed the lives of human users. An engineer by training, but a student of human behaviour by practice, he lives in the stormy intersection of those two worlds, and tries to smooth the waves he finds there.
