Established in 2018 as an offshoot of work being done at Oxford University, they recently secured $75 million of new funding and are ready to scale the company’s expansion programme further. They currently employ 150 people, but this number is due to grow significantly in Europe and N America primarily.

If you have some form of customer facing exposure to your hands on lab-based experience so much the better.
