Midlothian Science Zone Business Forum with Wobble Genomics

Tuesday 18th March 2025, 1:00pm to 2:30pm

Edinburgh Technopole, Bush House, Milton Bridge, EH26 0BB

The next Midlothian Science Zone Business Forum will be led by Dr Yuanyuan Cheng of Wobble Genomics, talking  about the company’s ground breaking research in full-length RNA, from whole blood to provide more accurate information on the status of disease in cancer patients, and how this information can be used to detect disease and find better therapies.



bIotech spinout success

Wobble Genomics was established in 2021 by Dr Richard Kuo, a spin-out from the Roslin Institute, and following successful seed funding and grants the company began developing its diagnostic platform and starting clinical studies in Breast Cancer, in collaboration with Professor Mike Dixon OBE at the Institute of Genetics and Cancer, University of Edinburgh.

Wobble Genomics became a tenant company at Roslin Innovation Centre and utilised lab and office space and also have office space at Pioneer Edinburgh Technopole. 



In late 2024, Wobble Genomics emerged from stealth mode showcasing exciting results at major cancer conferences to mark its next phase of development.

This will be an excellent opportunity to learn about this ground breaking research from Dr Cheng, hear about their future plans, and ask questions - even to find out the reason behind the unusual company name!

Businesses, collaborators and researchers working 'in the zone' are  invited for light refreshments and networking, to learn more about the innovative and collaborative science and research community 'in the zone'. 

This event will be hosted at Pioneer Edinburgh Technopole, in the boardroom at Bush House. Visitor parking is available to the rear of Bush House.
