The response from the county’s life sciences sector to COVID-19 has been immediate – a mass-mobilisation which is witnessing ground-breaking research around vaccines, diagnostics and treatments, all within a unique ecosystem. With scores of pioneering academic institutions, many hundreds of innovative life sciences companies, unique research facilities such as the Diamond Light Source (the UK’s synchrotron), and thousands of people employed in the sector, Oxfordshire is leading the international response to COVID-19.
While much rests on the development of the University of Oxford’s primary vaccine candidate, ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, the value of the research and development being undertaken across Oxfordshire is enormous.
