Dr Ginger Zhou, president of Azenta’s multiomics business unit, said: “We’re thrilled to open our Oxford laboratory, which allows us to bring state-of-the-art NGS technology to UK researchers. This new facility not only strengthens our global footprint but also offers researchers access to local experts and cutting-edge resources. The Oxford team comprises some of the best minds in the field, all with deep roots in the local scientific community.”
