OBN May 22nd BioTuesday

This month's BioTuesday gives us the opportunity to welcome new participants to the cluster, and celebrates the strong resurgence in the number of biotech and healthcare companies centred in Oxfordshire and the South-East.

In 2005, the OBN Cluster Report map identified 66 biotech companies in Oxfordshire, and in April 2006, the OBN BioCluster Map listed 85 biotech & healthcare companies in the County, currently however the OBN BioCluster Map 2007 lists over 125 such companies in Oxfordshire which amounts to a substantial increase. In this Local Biotechnology Forum, OBN will review the new companies to the cluster, reviewing University and company spin outs, acquisitions, and financings, and invite three of the new companies to the network to make short presentations to introduce themselves to the community

• Mr. Adam Levy, Commercial Director, Amplion Ltd
  Medical Technology - In vitro diagnostic devices (available for out-licensing)
