Making personalized possible.

The Tough Tech problem we are solving

Personalized medicine requires experiments conducted at a scale that matches patient diversity, across genetics, disease states, and responses, while remaining cost-effective and accessible at industrial volumes. Current workflows rely on bulky, slow lab processes that can't deliver the throughput, precision, or affordability needed to unlock tailored therapies for every individual, leaving vast potential untapped in synthetic biology and genomics.

About our solution

DropGenie supercharges automation by miniaturizing and parallelizing complex synthetic biology workflows 100x on a microfluidics chip powered by electrical engineering, materials science, and precision design. Our first product enables non-viral transfection in precious primary cells, slashing time-to-answer while preserving sample integrity for high-fidelity results. Ideal for whole-genome arrayed CRISPR screening at single-donor resolution, we make massive-scale, patient-matched experiments routine.
