Epistem is a biotechnology company with a specialist understanding of epithelial tissue and stem cell analyses, operating three distinct business divisions.
The Contract Research Division delivers innovative preclinical research services in the areas of oncology (inc. leukaemia), mucositis, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, wound healing and skincare. Working with over 200 pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and personal care companies worldwide, it offers proprietary assays for target validation, screening, efficacy, and translational biology using some of the latest technology, including small animal imaging, and with a GCLP accredited histology suite.
The Personalised Medicine Division is committed to facilitating a more tailored approach to patient treatment and care. It applies innovative gene expression technology to discovering novel drug-induced biomarkers to GCLP standard. It has also developed Genedrive™, a ‘point of care’ molecular diagnostic device providing a ‘near patient’ diagnosis in less than 30 minutes using hand held apparatus.
Our Novel Therapies Division is identifying the key regulators (proteins and peptides) of epithelial stem cells with the aim of developing therapeutics to control cell production.

Oxford BioMedica (LSE:OXB) is a leading gene therapy and immunotherapy company with a platform of exclusive and pioneering technologies to design, develop and manufacture unique gene-based medicines. The Company’s technology platforms include a highly efficient LentiVector® gene delivery system; a single administration to provide long-lasting therapy with specific advantages for targeting CNS and ocular diseases, and a unique tumour antigen (5T4) which is an ideal target for anti-cancer therapy.
The Company’s pipeline addresses diseases for which there is currently no treatment or that are inadequately treated today, including ocular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders and cancer, and its product candidates have the potential to transform treatment landscapes. Oxford BioMedica’s capabilities cover the entire product lifecycle, from research to development to GMP manufacturing, with collaborative partners such as Sanofi, Pfizer, Novartis and some of the most prestigious clinical centres worldwide. The Company recently secured significant funding via UK Government competitive awards such as the TSB regenerative medicine/cell therapy grant and AMSCI to build a centre of excellence for specialist manufacture of gene-based therapies.
Through in-house development programmes and industry collaborations, Oxford BioMedica’s goal is to improve the lives of patients with debilitating and life-threatening diseases. Further information is available at www.oxfordbiomedica.co.uk and www.oxbsolutions.co.uk.

Domainex is a drug discovery company with a reputation for speed and innovation built on an exceptional track record of drug candidate delivery. It has a world class discovery team with an unrivalled track record and three client drug candidates already in clinic.
Domainex reduces industry average drug discovery timelines by as much as 30% through the application of novel proprietary technologies and a highly focussed and integrated approach to medicinal chemistry and computational chemistry. These technologies and Domainex’s approach also enable it to successfully tackle a greater range of drug target classes, such as kinases, proteases, ion channels, proteins involved in epigenetics and protein-protein interactions.
Domainex has applied its unique technologies and focussed discovery approach to enable it to develop its own pipeline of oncology drugs, including inhibitors of the kinases IKKε/TBK1 for both oncology and inflammation and a number of epigenetics related lysine methyltransferases, including G9a

Sphere Fluidics Limited is an innovative Life Sciences company which delivers miniaturised products, systems and collaboration services in field of single cell analysis.
Sphere’s core technology is in the field of high throughput Picodroplet generation and analysis and has significant patent portfolio that protects its core expertise. It enables ultra-high throughput analysis of single cells and generation of their genetic, transcriptomic and proteomic profiles in miniaturised (pl to nl) volumes.
Uniquely, as well as allowing single cell studies, the systems enable the study of different, large biomolecules that interact with or are secreted by those single cells. The latter application is very powerful as many human biotherapeutics, industrial enzymes (isolated mainly from micro-organisms) and around 15% of the Human Proteome are secreted, so cannot readily be analysed using conventional technology
Sphere Fluidics' technology enables diverse applications such as study of the mechanism of cancer cell resistance to chemotherapy, generation of new enzymes and identification of novel microbial strains.
Sphere Fluidics has established multiple commercial partnerships, received Venture Capital investment and with its founders the Company have received almost £10 million in science and business funding to date.
