Innovate UK

Chromatwist they provide shifted organic fluorescent dyes which, when irradiated with UV light, become visible blue excitation sources. Their patented innovative molecular technology platform coupled to their modular and scalable chemistry allows the development of their fluorophores to further push the boundaries of applications in the healthcare sector through their use in bio-sensing (e.g. flow cytometry) and bio-imaging (e.g. multiphoton microscopy).

New Media Education (NME) is the creator of Meducation and of various medical tutorials for UK medical students. Founded in 2008 NME aims to improve the quality of medical education worldwide. In 2009 the company launched Meducation, a social network initially aimed at UK medical students, which encourages interaction between geographically-diverse medical students. It also provides access to a large amount of free educational resources submitted by the community, as well as purchasable resources created by both NME and other small publishers. As of July 2013, Meducation had 30,000 members including 33% of UK medical students. NME is currently raising a £350k funding round to expand their services both internationally and to doctors and nurses. They expect to close the round during August 2013, hiring 6 new staff through September, and launching the first of their new products later in that year.
