Strameno welcomes new talent increasing our team by 65%!

As we continue working with partners around the world to commercialise our novel isolates we welcome two colleagues to Strameno Ltd.

Strameno Ltd has appointed Professor Simon John Davies FRSB FIAS as Technical Consultant.
Simon J Davies is a long-standing colleague and friend to Strameno’s Directors and is a renowned expert in aquaculture nutrition.

He has worked internationally for a number of years and has held Chairs at Plymouth, Harper Adams, and now as adjunct Professor at University College Galway.

He is also the Editor-in-Chief of International Aquafeed trade magazine since 2009.

Simon has authored over 200 scientific papers, book chapters and commercial reports and was recently appointed a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology and a Fellow of the Institution of Aquaculture, Singapore. He has advised many government agencies and grant awarding bodies, and acted as a consultant to numerous commercial companies in biotechnology and the feed industry.

Simon joins us specifically for his expertise on thraustochytrids and we welcome him to Strameno.

We also welcome Glynis Leadbetter as Quality and Technical Adviser. Glynis spends most of her time with us in our lab developing our routine and research culture processes and overseeing the quality control aspects of our operation.

Glynis started her career at the Edinburgh University Bacteriology Department, where she worked in research and on the development of the Virology Service. She was involved in the integration of the Edinburgh University Virology, Hepatitis and HIV Reference Laboratory and the Regional Virus Laboratories at the City Hospital to provide a service for the Lothians. She was also involved in the planning and move to the new laboratories at the new Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh in 2002. This presented all laboratory services with an opportunity to share facilities, to meet the ever-increasing requirements of automation and PCR.

Glynis has already made a major contribution to our work and we are delighted to formally welcome her to Strameno
