Jeremy Bryar

Jerry joined Oxford Nanopore in 2014 as our Director of Continuous Improvement. His initial deliverables were to set up our first manufacturing operation and develop a blueprint for scaling it.

Jerry is now Plant Director, and has driven the design, build and fit out of our new world class manufacturing, warehousing and logistics site, the MinION Building, in record time.

Jerry is now responsible for all aspects of our manufacturing operation. He leads an 80-strong team and is also currently planning future expansion projects in the UK and developing a regional presence for manufacturing overseas.

Jerry is looking forward to being part of the future of sequencing technology, the growth and impact of our Diagnostic technology function and playing his part in bringing products to market which have so many applications and opportunities to do good around the world.

Prior to joining Oxford Nanopore Jerry was a Master Black Belt at Abbott Laboratories, and supported the deployment of Lean Six Sigma continuous improvement methodologies in Europe. In his 40 years career he has also worked on the manufacture of medical devices, nutritional products and biotechnology.
