Before we dig into recently funded biotech startups, let’s look at a quick definition:

What is Biotech?

Biotech is short for biotechnology. It refers to the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make products, or "any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use".

This field combines various disciplines including biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, and computer science to push the boundaries of how biological substances can be manipulated. Its applications are vast and span across several industries including healthcare, agriculture, environmental conservation, and pharmaceuticals.

In healthcare and pharmaceuticals, biotech plays a critical role in developing drugs and vaccines, genetic research, and personalised medicine. In agriculture, biotech contributes to creating genetically modified crops for increased yield, disease resistance, and climate adaptability. Environmental biotechnology includes the development of biofuels and the use of microorganisms to clean pollutants from water, soil, or air.

A successful example of a UK biotech company is Oxford Nanopore Technologies. It was founded in 2005, and specialises in the development of nanopore technology for the direct, electronic analysis of single molecules.

This technology has a wide range of applications, including scientific research, personalised medicine, and the treatment of infectious diseases.

Oxford Nanopore's innovative approach has revolutionised DNA sequencing, making it faster, cheaper, and accessible to labs worldwide. The company's portable DNA sequencer, the MinION, has been particularly noted for its use in fieldwork, including disease surveillance and environmental monitoring.
