UK nanopore sequencing pioneer with portable MinION device; £223M FY2025 revenue (+24% constant currency). Clinical revenues up 60% as sequencing moves to point-of-care.
Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) was spun out of the University of Oxford in 2005, commercializing a radically different sequencing approach: passing DNA strands through biological nanopore proteins embedded in a membrane and detecting characteristic ionic current changes to call bases in real time. This enables ultra-long reads (megabase scale), direct RNA sequencing, and epigenetic base modification detection without prior amplification.\n\nONT's product range spans from the palm-sized MinION (the world's first portable DNA sequencer) to the high-throughput PromethION 2 Solo and PromethION 48 platforms. These instruments have enabled field sequencing for infectious disease outbreak response (COVID-19, mpox, Ebola), real-time clinical microbiology, plant pathogen surveillance, and cancer genomics. The company reported £223 million in FY2025 revenue, representing 24% constant-currency growth, with clinical revenues up 60% and biopharma revenues up 30%.\n\nONT is publicly listed on the London Stock Exchange and holds approximately £300 million in cash. While accuracy has historically lagged Illumina and PacBio, successive chemistry improvements and the Kit14 chemistry have closed the gap for many applications. The company is expanding its presence in clinical diagnostics, with regulatory filings underway in key markets, and remains the benchmark for portable, real-time, and long-read sequencing.
a2z Radiology AI raised $20M in 2025 for its whole-body AI that simultaneously screens for 24+ conditions across CT scans — from incidental cancers to cardiovascular risk — in a single automated read.
a2z Radiology AI has developed a whole-body CT analysis platform that simultaneously screens for over 24 medical conditions across a single CT scan, including incidental cancers, coronary artery disease, aortic aneurysm, bone density loss, and organ abnormalities. The AI acts as a second reader that radiologists can use to catch incidental findings that fall outside the primary reason for a scan — a major source of missed diagnoses.
