A University of Edinburgh spinout
Wobble Genomics spun out from the University of Edinburgh in 2021. The company’s founder and CEO, Richard Kuo, a researcher at the University’s Roslin Institute, developed biochemical and software technologies that greatly increase the efficiency and accuracy of RNA sequencing.
RNA sequencing has emerged in recent years as a key technique for studying gene expression, which can give scientists and clinicians unprecedented insights into disease. Ultimately the technology could revolutionise how we understand, research, diagnose, treat and monitor a huge variety of diseases. Wobble is already conducting trials with some of the world’s largest RNA sequencing organisations.
The name Wobble Genomics relates to a characteristic of how RNA is translated into proteins.
