Oxford BioDynamics Plc Board Transition as Company Enters Next Phase of Growth

Introduction: Getting the basics right Oxford BioDynamics’ (OBD) EpiSwitch™ biomarker discovery platform combined with their newly enhanced detection technology gives the company valuable quantitative insights into chromosome conformations (DNA protein complexes) that regulate normal and disease

Oxford BioDynamics’ EpiSwitch™ technology is based on epigenetics, mechanisms that alter gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence and whose deregulation plays a role in the development of cancer, autoimmune, and neurologic diseases. Although DNA

The long-running study on aging and brain health at the University of Kentucky’s Sanders-Brown Center on Aging (SBCoA) Alzheimer’s Disease Center has once again resulted in important new findings – highlighting a complex and under-recognized form

Today the Government has announced changes to guidance in England for people shielding from COVID-19.  These changes will be introduced in two stages – from 6 July and 1 August.  We know there has been concern

Mutations in the UBQLN2 gene, known to cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), promote the buildup of toxic waste in brain cells by preventing the normal function of two cellular degradation mechanisms, a study has found. In addition to its known role

The coronavirus is known with certainty that it emerged in China in November and has since spread to almost the entire world, where it has infected more than 5 million people and killed at least 356,000. Older adults are more

Oxford BioDynamics’ EpiSwitch technology has been chosen as the biomarker platform for prognostic and predictive profiling of COVID-19 patients in the GETAFIX clinical study.Institute of Infection, Immunity and Inflammation, University of Glasgow, and NHS Scotland are

The Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network (RDCRN) has opened an online survey to better understand how the COVID-19 outbreak is affecting people with rare diseases, their families, and caregivers. Survey questions cover a patient’s physical and mental health, supply of treatments, and

Oxford BioDynamics Plc (LON:OBD), a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of epigenetic biomarkers, based on regulatory 3D genome architecture, using its liquid biopsy platform EpiSwitch™, expects to announce its interim results for the half-year

ALS Awareness Month has been observed each May since 1992. But this year, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced supporters to rethink ways to raise funds and awareness for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In previous years, May has been full of fundraising and educational activities

“I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound? Everybody look what’s going down.” That call for awareness comes from the song “For What It’s Worth” by Buffalo Springfield. The song’s writer, Stephen Stills, penned the lyrics in

Within weeks following my ALS diagnosis, I faced my first ALS Awareness Month. At the time, I was still figuring out exactly what I had and how to pronounce amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Never mind trying to educate others about it. I hated
