Jason Davis

Professor Jason J. Davis is a leading chemist at the University of Oxford whose research bridges chemistry, physics and diagnostics. His group explores functional molecular interfaces, nanoparticles for molecular imaging, electroanalysis, electron transfer, and supramolecular chemistry with applications in biosensing and diagnostics. Davis co-founded Osler Diagnostics, which develops portable diagnostic platforms capable of performing lab-quality analyses from small samples. Over his career, he has secured multi-million pound funding and published extensively in areas ranging from bioelectronic sensors to molecular switches and imaging modalities.

Professor in Chemistry and University Reader

Professor Jason J. Davis’s research at Oxford centers on functional molecular interfaces, especially in relation to diagnostics, sensing, molecular switches, and imaging. His group engineers supramolecular films, responsive nanoparticles, and electrochemical interfaces to transduce molecular recognition events into measurable signals. They explore electron transfer mechanisms at molecular films, design MRI contrast agents and cargo-delivery systems, and develop strategies for highly sensitive biomarker detection (e.g. C-reactive protein, insulin) in complex biological samples.
