Founded in 2019, OXcan recently completed its Series A funding round, led by We Venture Capital and Cross-Border Impact Ventures.
Colin Brown, Development Director, Mission Street commented:
“We’re delighted to welcome OXcan as the newest occupier at Inventa. They are an exceptional company advancing the science of machine learning and diagnostics. OXcan is a valuable addition to the growing Inventa and West End ecosystem. Inventa is now nearing full occupancy, bringing together some of Oxford’s most exciting innovation companies and establishing the city’s only central research and development cluster.”
Dr. Andreas Halner, OXcan's President and Co-Founder, added:
“The new facility will enable OXcan to expand its analytical and laboratory capabilities, strengthen clinical collaborations, and advance our mission to deliver more accurate and accessible diagnostics to patients worldwide. We chose Inventa for its convenient proximity to central Oxford and the train station, offering access to top talent from Oxfordshire and beyond. The Mission Street team has been outstanding in supporting our transition, and we look forward to this next phase of growth and to contributing to the dynamic innovation ecosystem taking shape in Oxford’s West End.”
Both parties are eager to see OXcan’s presence at Inventa further enhance collaboration and advance the region’s innovation ecosystem.
