NeuroDelta aims to develop and commercialise novel small molecule drugs and diagnostic reagents that address neurological disorders, cancer, cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases. Dr Milton collected the top prize of £5,000 from ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûProvost Sir Derek Roberts at the award ceremony in March 2003.
Two runner-up prizes of £3,000 were awarded to Wheelion, a manufacturer of advanced carbon fibre wheelchairs, and afterGrad, a graduate recruitment company.
More than 170 entries were registered for the competition from ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûand the London Business School. The eight finalists that were selected had to present their propositions to a panel of judges consisting of experts in venture capital, banking, start-ups and law.
Competition judge Mr Robin Daniels, of the Centre for Scientific Enterprise, said: "The ideas are more than the output of an academic process - ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûevidently offers much more than that. Some of these teams stand a real chance of turning their ideas into businesses. These are certainly people to look out for."
