For the first time, OBD enables any researcher to explore 3D genomics at both scale + high resolution using our commercially available microarray for biomarker discovery.
Learn MoreOur journey to becoming the 3D genomics experts
OBD was spun out from Oxford University in 2007 with the aim of translating fundamental scientific advances in 3D Genomics into a new generation of commercialized blood tests for life-changing diseases. OBD is making good on this aim, delivering both EpiSwitch CiRT and EpiSwitch PSE into the hands of doctors.
Today, OBD’s 24,000 sq ft headquarters in Oxford, UK, houses offices and state-of-the-art laboratory facilities. OBD’s commercial team has an office in Gaithersburg and a clinical laboratory in Frederick, MD, USA, and the company has an ISO-certified laboratory in Penang, Malaysia.
OBD has participated in 40+ partnerships with pharma and leading institutions including Pfizer, EMD Serono, Genentech, Roche, Biogen, Mayo Clinic, Massachusetts General Hospital and Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma. The Company has created a valuable technology portfolio, including biomarker arrays, molecular diagnostics, bioinformatic tools for 3D genomics and an expertly curated 3D genome knowledgebase comprising hundreds of millions of data points from 15,000+ samples in 30+ human diseases.
"We focus on 3D genomics because the 3D configuration of the genome plays a crucial role in gene regulation."
OBD’s proprietary EpiSwitch technology maps this 3D architecture at scale, identifying abnormal configurations, that can be used to diagnose patients or predict how someone may respond to a disease or treatment.
