About OxDX

OxDX is a University of Oxford spin out company that uses high-resolution microscopy in combination with machine learning to identify pathogens in just a few seconds. Think of Covid testing done on a microscope rather than using today’s tests. The technology has been developed at the Department of Physics, and the company has recently secured significant funding to scale it up and bring it to the market.
