Quantum-Si was originally founded in 2013 by Jonathan Rothberg, who envisioned a new frontier where biologists can accelerate basic scientific insights and biomedical advances through the power of next-generation protein sequencing.
Quantum-Si aims to revolutionize proteomics, by bringing single-molecule protein analysis to every lab, everywhere, to generate a better understanding of proteins' role in cell biology and disease. The company’s instrument, called Platinum™, is powered by a first-of-its-kind semiconductor chip, and enables researchers through next-generation protein sequencing to understand what is truly happening at the protein, peptide or amino acid level to fuel new discoveries.
