Neomorphic Software

Brief Description

Neomorphic uses proprietary software algorithms and computing infrastructure to analyze, assemble and annotate genomic and expressed gene sequence data. Neomorphic's bioinformatics capabilities have been demonstrated in several scientific settings, including the Drosophila annotation jamboree sponsored by Celera Genomics, and the Genome Annotation Assessment Project. Through these efforts, Neomorphic demonstrated that its tools are the most accurate at identifying genes and other regulatory regions within genomic sequence. Neomorphic's work with its collaborators on...

Enable Biosciences, Inc.

Brief Description

Enable Biosciences is an early-stage biotech company creating the next generation of tools for predictive medicine, with diagnostics 10,000x more sensitive than previous methods, for earlier detection and treatment of diseases like HIV and type 1 diabetes.

Magnetic Tides

Brief Description

Magnetic Tides has developed a new non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) system capable of modulating brain function more reliably and effectively than previously existing NIBS methods.

NIBS is used as a research tool to safely, transiently alter the excitability state of targeted neurons when testing causal hypotheses about brain-behavior relationships. In addition, clinicians have recognized the potential of NIBS as a new intervention in the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
