Problem
Current single-cell technologies provide a fragmented view of cellular diversity, lacking the ability to connect multi-omics analysis with dynamic functional assays at cell resolution. Existing methods often fail to capture the full picture of molecular mechanisms underlying cell function and dynamics in complex biological systems like tumors. The constraints of droplet microfluidics limit the ability to identify cells by imaging, preventing the coupling of phenotypic and omic analysis.
Solution
Minos Biosciences offers a cell analysis platform that bridges molecular and cell biology by connecting multi-omics analysis with dynamic functional assays at single-cell resolution. Their CAGE-tag™ microfluidic technology combines image-based, dynamic functional monitoring and sequence-based molecular profiling of individual or multiple cells at high throughput. This generates unique datasets that provide an in-depth understanding of cellular diversity and dynamics in complex biological systems, such as tumors and their micro-environment. The platform includes a benchtop instrument and an integrated or cloud-based AI-powered software for streamlined and user-friendly data analysis.
Target Audience
The primary audience includes researchers in life sciences, drug discovery & development, and precision medicine, particularly those studying cancer, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases.
