Novogene recently hosted its inaugural Open Day at the Bradfield Centre in the Cambridge Science Park on March 9th, 2023. The event brought together a diverse group of individuals, including partners, employees, and customers, to discuss every aspect of Novogene’s journey, from its founding to future plans and employee journeys.

The day began with an address from Novogene’s founder and President, Dr Rui-Qiang Li, who spoke about the company’s mission to make genomics more accessible by building a global network of local laboratories in biotech hotspots. He highlighted the importance of automation and standardized procedures to ensure the high-quality of service and consistency worldwide.

Other notable presentations included Jane Hutchins and Dr David Chaplin’s discussion on the role of Novogene within the Cambridge Science Park and wider scientific community, and Dr Ying-Jie Wang’s overview of Novogene’s support for innovation in Oxford. Novogene’s own Technical Support Supervisor, Dr Shelly Pathak, helped throw some light on the world of Novogene by speaking about her journey as a Novogene employee.

The event also featured presentations from Novogene’s customers who are at the forefront of cutting-edge life science research. Professor Dipak Ramji from the University of Cardiff, Dr Tanai Cardona from Imperial College London, and Professor Karl Morten from the University of Oxford all presented on their research areas, with Novogene’s RNA and whole genome sequencing services playing a pivotal role in their experiments.

In addition to fostering a sense of community among attendees, Novogene also partnered with Just One Tree to contribute to the cause of sustainability. As part of this partnership, Novogene pledged to plant one tree for every in-person attendee at the Open Day event.
