Descriptiontext

Oncimmune Holdings PLC is an AIM-listed UK biotech headquartered in Leeds (with original operations noted in Nottingham) that develops and commercializes its proprietary EarlyCDT platform technology for early cancer detection. The company's core proposition centers on oncology biomarker diagnostics, including liquid-biopsy-based approaches, serving healthcare providers, hospital oncology departments, and cancer research institutions that require non-invasive methods for early-stage cancer identification and personalized treatment planning.

The technology stack revolves around the EarlyCDT platform, which leverages autoantibody-based biomarker measurement — an immunological approach aimed at detecting cancer signatures before clinical symptoms emerge. The 2019 acquisition of Protagen broadened the company's footprint into adjacent immune-profiling and personalized cancer diagnostics, extending the offering beyond the original EarlyCDT product line.

Commercially, Oncimmune operates with 51–100 employees and sells diagnostic products and biomarker services to the healthcare and oncology sector. Specific product SKUs, unit pricing, and customer logos are not disclosed in the available sources; distribution is presumed to flow through healthcare procurement and direct sales to medical institutions consistent with AIM-listed diagnostics peers. The company is led by CEO Martin Gouldstone alongside founder John Robertson, CFO Matthew Hall, CCO Matthew Luttrell, and Chief Business Officer Cameron Barnard. In October 2024 the company completed a recapitalization of approximately £2.45 million (placing, subscription, and retail offer) with concurrent debt-to-equity conversion to support recent contract wins and ongoing operations.
