About us

Who we are


We are a close-knit team of passionate scientists, engineers and creative thinkers, all working together towards our shared goal – a future where drugs are discovered more quickly, brought to patients more cost-effectively, and through the use of less animal experimentation.

Day to day our cohesive team design, manufacture, promote, and support organ-on-a-chip solutions that enable our customers to do something incredible – recreate three-dimensional human organs and tissues in the laboratory to better understand human physiology, disease, and the effectiveness of new drugs.

Join the team!

Our team is growing! If you are interested in joining us you can find a list of current vacancies on our careers page

Gareth Guenigault

Lead Scientist – Contract Research

Gareth has been with CN Bio for over three years, joining in what feels like the distant past when the company was young and he still worked in a small, dark lab. He’s now responsible for the contract research team in their shiny new lab, planning projects with customers and ensuring they are delivered on time and to a high quality. He’s only recently stopped working in the lab and occasionally likes to still pretend he’s a bench scientist (until the real scientists kick him out of the lab). When he’s not working, you’re most likely to find Gareth outside either walking his dog, looking after the chickens in his garden, or riding his fluffy Icelandic horse. Or if the weather is bad he likes to hide at the cinema, or inside with a good book or video game.

Sarah Payne

Product Marketing Manager

Sarah is a scientist by training who converted to the dark side once the force behind her desire to talk about cutting edge science became stronger than her desire to do science! Having experienced many commercial roles, from Field Application Scientist, Sales and Product Management, she has found her forever home in marketing. Her day-to-day involves leading a team of equally passionate and result-driven individuals, who enjoy spreading the word about the fabulous field of Organ-on-a-chip and CN Bio.

Outside of work Sarah loves hanging out with family and friends. Any activity that involves being in water, on water, or next to water is a winner and she frequently sneaks off to the gym for a workout.
