Чем занимается Dropprint Genomics

Who we are? We write software that understands the activity of individual cells as opposed to all cells. This approach is novel because we are no longer looking at average signals and can be precise. It is like a police person trying to identify the speeding car, they won’t find it if they look at all the cars at once, rather they need to look at the speed of each individual car. This is the beauty of single cell genomics, we can now identify that speeding car. Why now? The biggest barrier for entry into the single cell genomics market are cost and data analysis. To that end, we have reduced the cost by 10-fold and built the computational infrastructure for scalability. Although single cell sequencing has only been around for about five years, we come from one of the top single cell genomics labs and were the first to process and analyze millions of immune cells. Thanks to our software solutions, we have been able to bring big data solutions to the immune system. Where are we and where are we going? We have generated a database of over 1 million immune cells spanning healthy, cancerous, and autoimmune immune cells and are growing through paid partnerships. Harnessing out database and ML software, we can take a data-centric approach for better target discovery. Fortunately, as our database continues to grow, our models will continue to learn for more precise, unbiased, and automated single cell genomics. Thank you!

The better way to run single cell genomics

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build software that analyzes the activity of individual cells rather than bulk cell populations. Our product reduces the cost of single cell genomics by 10-fold and supports scalable computational infrastructure. Researchers and companies use our platform to process and analyze millions of immune cells, enabling precise identification and characterization of cells in healthy, cancerous, and autoimmune contexts.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and the company will continue to be based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team lives and where single cell genomics research and biotech companies concentrate, making it easier to work closely with early partners and stay connected to the industry.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Это реальная заявка Dropprint Genomics в YC?

Нет. Y Combinator держит поданные заявки в приватности. Это реконструкция: реальные вопросы формы YC, ответы на которые основаны на публичных данных Dropprint Genomics (заметки о запуске, бэкграунд фаундеров, описание продукта). Это показывает, как компания вроде Dropprint Genomics представила бы себя YC, а не текст, который они подали.
