## Elpis Wins 2018 Cambridge Independent Start-Up of the Year Award

Elpis was voted as the 2018 Cambridge Start-Up of the Year among a highly competitive field of life science and biotech start-ups. The Cambridge Independent Science and Technology Awards are sponsored by local technology heavyweights such as AstraZeneca / MedImmune and was judged this year by a panel of industry experts.

Last year’s recipient of the award, STORM Therapeutics, has since gone on to raise £4 million of funding and appointed Nobel Prize Winner Professor Thomas Cech as Scientific Advisor.
