The Institute currently houses five research groups. Research in the Institute focuses on ten themes, each formed around collaborations between researchers in Oxford and China. Some build upon and expand on-going successful collaborations that are currently part of the CTI, others present exciting, new collaborative opportunities within the Institute.

Platforms

Mass Spec - Lipidomics

Agilent MS Platform for the identification and quantification of targeted lipids in physiological samples through MS.

Spatial Profiling Hub

We house the full range of NanoString platforms to support bulk RNA profiling, spatial transcriptomics and proteomics.

Protein Production

Biacore 8KSupporting the production of recombinant proteins from project conception through to protein.

Oxford Radcliffe Biobank

We work closely with colleagues at ORB to access patient samples.

Bioinformatic Analysis

Our in-house Bioinformaticians provide guidance, support & advice to all COI-affiliated researchers.

Human T Cell Bank

We have a bank of T cell clones specific for viral & cancer antigens that can be accessed.

Flow Cytometry

We have the Thermo Fisher Attune NXT and BD FACSymphony A5 flow cytometers within the Institute.

Pleural Effusion Biobank

Blue lungs on a black background surrounded with network connection lines. We have a bank of pleural effusion (PE) samples collected from patients in Oxford.
