Careers

Oxford Nanopore’s goal is to bring the widest benefits to society through enabling the analysis of anything, by anyone, anywhere. The company has developed a new generation of nanopore-based sensing technology. This enables the real-time, high-performance, accessible and scalable analysis of DNA and RNA and has the potential to be adapted for the analysis of other types of molecule, such as proteins. The technology is used in more than 120 countries to understand the biology of humans and diseases, plants, animals, bacteria, viruses and whole environments.

Our responsibilities

“We want our technology to be accessible so that it can bring the widest benefits to society. This is especially necessary as we face increasing inequality in healthcare in society, as global challenges in food productivity and security mount, and as the consequences of climate change reach beyond the environment to include human health.”

Gordon Sanghera, CEO

 

Our approach to sustainability Nanopore sequencing in education

Our impact: ORG.one

In May 2021, ORG. one was launched. ORG. one is a pilot-stage project designed to support faster, more localised DNA sequencing of critically-endangered species, using the latest nanopore approaches.

Our impact: Pushing the limits of clinical research

The Nanopore Community has developed many clinical research pipelines which could offer real-time disease insights in the future. These researchers are pushing the boundaries of what was previously thought possible. From the potential of comprehensive single cost-effective screening assays to demonstrating the feasibility of characterising tumours during surgery, in the future.

Our impact: Anything, Anyone, Anywhere

MinION offers a simple, affordable and portable approach which has enabled researchers to sequence outside of the lab for the first time, bringing sequencing provision to local communities, in resource-limited settings. Meanwhile, our compact benchtop devices offer a flexible solution for high throughput and population-scale genomics.

Our impact: COVID-19 & variant detection

MinION has provided a rapid and affordable approach to sequencing and GridION has provided the option to scale that up, enabling over 80 nations to sequence more than 200,000 SARS-CoV-2 genomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. This has helped identify transmission clusters, and variants of concern, to improve public health decision making. We continue to work with the Nanopore Community on protocol optimisation, whilst supporting public health authorities globally in their fight against COVID-19.
