The 'EctoDecto' team which won the regional heat of the competition.

A group of postgraduate students from the School of Pharmacy formed a team, called 'EctoDecto', which won the regional  heat of the last week (14-16 October, 2015).  The business idea for the competition was a head lice detection and treatment spray.  The team's tag line was 'revealing life's little critters'.  The team members (from left to right in the photograph) were Georgina Marsh, Monica Mistry, Claire Lewis, Gudrun Fridgeirsdottir and Rosa Catania.

The final will take place in London on Thursday 10^th December. Congratulations and good luck!
