Data Manager/Clinical Data Coordinator

About Origin Sciences

Origin Sciences is a start-up biotechnology company based in Granta Park, just south of Cambridge. We develop our own innovative medical devices, which we use in clinical trials to collect a biobank of mucus-based biospecimens. This biobank provides clinical material for our research and development streams to assist with diagnostic development.

We are creating a minimally invasive and accurate cancer diagnostic, which will allow the NHS to focus resources on patients with more serious pathologies. Our motivations are to reduce NHS waiting times, enable earlier cancer detection and reduce unnecessary investigations performed on healthy patients.

Our cancer diagnostic is analogous to blood-based liquid biopsies. However, we have the advantage of evaluating material that was collected closer to the pathology of interest.
