The company was founded in 2012 by Dr Karen J Williams, who, while working as a Sponsor, had become increasingly frustrated by the inevitable constraints and rigidity smaller companies can experience being lost and forgotten in larger CRO’s. Utilizing her 30 years’ experience in pharma and CRO industries, Dr Williams started Karma Oncology to ensure smaller biotech’s get the service and attention they deserve. She has surrounded herself with like-minded professionals and built a team, who, like herself have a passion for this work and are nowledgeable, Adaptable, Reliable, Motivated and Accountable.

CEOOxStem Limited
OxStem is a drug discovery company, spun-out from the University of Oxford, with the unique vision of developing in-situ cell programming therapies to treat what are typically (but certainly not exclusively) age-related conditions, such as Dementia, Heart Failure, Macular Degeneration (the leading cause of blindness in the developed world), Diabetes and Oncology.
The idea is straightforward – to use the Stem Cell and Medicinal Chemistry expertise within Chemistry and its associated partners at Oxford to identify new classes of drugs that can re-program or stimulate existing endogenous cells – awakening previously defunct or dormant cellular processes.
