From our CEO Mark Lewis:
As the year comes to a close, I’ve been taking a moment to reflect on what this year has meant for Myomaker Bio. For those new here Myomaker Bio is a contract research organisation specialising in pre-clinical muscle biology.
2025 has been a whirlwind for us where we:
🎉 Welcomed our first customers
🎉 Moved into new offices from Bedford Heights (Thanks Tim King and Investcope Ltd. – was great working with you in the formative stages of Myomaker Bio Ltd.) to LUinc.
🎉 Formalised our spin-out from Loughborough University
🎉 Took up space in Victoria House – an amazing facility from the Pioneer Group Grace Crocker
🎉 Completed the Pioneer Group Launch Programme and National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs) CRACKIT STRATIS project (special thanks to Cathy Vickers, Abi Spear and Dstl)
🎉 Expanded our staff to 2 full members of staff (Dr Kerry Chaplin and Dr Millie Coward) with new hires planned for 2026
None of this would have been possible without the support of:
• Our early customers who championed our approach
• Our advisors who have moved onto pastures new – Cliff Murray and Simon Cruwys and those still on the journey with us – Rowan Rimington and Sophie Dale-Black PhD
• The valued input of LU colleagues Nick Gostick, Peter Collier and Dan Parsons
• My great friend and co-founder, Dr. Andrew Capel
And many other friends who have, by their kindness and willingness to listen, helped us along the way.
As we head into the new year, we are laser-focused on delivering the best outcome we can to our customers whilst finalising our first investment round. We will ensure that we add to the community we are part of at Victoria House whilst we find new people to work with – thanks to Lee Williams and Steve Street who have come on board as advisors to help us through these next stages.
Finally, it has been great fun and we will always try to ensure that we enjoy what we do!
Thank you for following along, supporting us, and being part of the journey, Merry Christmas!
