Biography

As the Senior Vice President of R&D — Biologics, Dr. Lakmal Jayasinghe oversees all biological research and development projects at Oxford Nanopore. Lakmal joined Oxford Nanopore Technologies in 2006 after finishing his PhD in chemical biology at the University of Oxford. During his PhD in the Hagan Bayley group, Lakmal studied different nanopores and has gained a wealth of knowledge in engineering nanopores using genetic and chemical approaches. His responsibilities at Oxford Nanopore include improving the readout signal and performance of Oxford Nanopore platforms by upgrading its current nanopore reader and motor, as well as discovering new versions of nanopores, motors, and chemistries to suit various Oxford Nanopore applications, including protein sequencing. Lakmal also works with many academic collaborators across the world to ensure that Oxford Nanopore uses the best possible biological components and chemistries in its platforms.
