The International Isotope Society UK Group 30th Annual Symposium is a one day event covering the synthesis and applications of isotopically labelled compounds to be held on Friday, 15th November 2024 at The Møller Institute in Cambridge, UK.
Highlights of the meeting will include talks from Professor Jason Holland (University of Zurich, Switzerland) and Dr Katherine Wheelhouse (GlaxoSmithKline).
Topics will include organic synthesis, carbon/hydrogen isotope exchange, tritium and carbon-14 synthesis, stable isotope chemistry, short-lived isotopes and imaging among other topics. A complete list of speakers is given below and presentation titles will be added as they become available:
Professor Jason Holland (University of Zurich, Switzerland)
"New tactics in radiotracer design (radiometals)."
Dr Katherine Wheelhouse (GlaxoSmithKline, UK)
"Adventures in pharmaceutical catalysis."
Professor Rebecca Melen (Cardiff University, UK)
"Single or double? A radical approach to frustrated Lewis pairs."
Dr David Lindsay (University of Strathclyde, UK)
"New catalytic approaches for rapid access to isotopically-labelled architectures of biological importance."
Dr Jack Rowbotham (University of Manchester, UK)
"Integrating biocatalysis into the synthesis of deuterated drugs and other valuable biomolecules."
Dr Philip Miller (Imperial College London, UK)
"Droplet-based F-18 radiolabelling reactions."
Dr Cinzia Imberti (Kings College London, UK)
"Metallodrugs in the hot seat: accelerating preclinical development with radionuclide imaging."
Dr Siôn Edwards (Pharmaron, UK)
"Tritium labelling of oligonucleotides."
Dr Sean Kitson (Almac Sciences, UK)
"Application of nitrilase in [14C]SHP-141 synthesis: advancing Remetinostat, an HDAC inhibitor."
There will also be an opportunity to present posters at the meeting and we will also be offering a prize for the best poster by a post-graduate — please contact

if you would like to present a poster.
We are delighted to be returning to The Møller Institute again this year. The venue is approximately one mile from Junction 13 on the M11 motorway and a short taxi ride from Cambridge railway station with its frequent express services to Liverpool Street station and Stansted Airport. The meeting will be timed to allow most UK based people to travel to and from the symposium on the same day although accommodation is available at The Møller Centre for those travelling from afar.
The closing date for registration is Friday, 8th November 2024.
We hope you will be able to attend and help make this meeting of the IIS UK Group as successful as in previous years.
A buffet lunch will be provided for all delegates.
Please register using the online registration form which also contains details on how to send your remittance and confirm your place.
