Michael Gutorov CEO of GAMMA-DNA
02.07.2018 - a significant day for our project, the transition from the Proof of concept - the elements of the sequencing technology (DNA decoding), confirmed by experiments – towards creating a layout of the key nodes of the sequencer working on this technology.
First of all, I want to express my gratitude and admiration to the team of the project, we managed to create a team united by the idea, each employee, with his/her involvement and professionalism, brings the common success daily.
In the next 365 days...
In the next 365 days, it is planned to create a layout of the key nodes of the sequencer and demonstrate the sequence (the capabilities of our technology for recognizing the nucleotide sequence of DNA). Numerous laboratory and numerical experiments conducted during previous years, including software processing (the program of logic-mathematical 3D modeling of the DNA polymerization reaction, a certificate for a computer program received) proof the feasibility of the technology.
For today, we have closed the pre-seed investment round, the financial support of the Skolkovo Foundation and co-investors (thanks to everyone who believed in success!) provides us with the opportunity to organize our own laboratory at Skolkovo Technopark. This is where our device will be created. Today the laboratory is empty – we’ve shot the first video, where you can see it. The quarter will pass and we will place the video lab already in operation, with a full set of equipment. Next we will be happy to inform you regularly about our progress here, on the site and on our page in FB.
If you are interested in learning more about the project, becoming our partner, investor, mentor, please address Nadya V. Matveyeva, Managing Partner for Development and Investments, N.Matveyeva@gamma-dna.com
Good luck!
Yours,
Michael Gutorov
Single-molecule Label-free Electronic DNA Sequencer Project Leader,
“GAMMA-DNA” LLC, CEO
DNA-sequencer – is a device for DNA molecule decoding.
The DNA molecule is separable from blood, saliva, skin or hair. Such molecule carries the complete genetic information about an organism.Deciphering the genetic information, which exists in the form of genetic code, enables:
• early disease risk prediction
• drug development
• individual treatment plan identification (personalized medicine)
• daily diet and fitness planning
• genetic passport creation
• species origin determination
• and many other things…
GOALS
Our goal is to create such a sequencer of a supernova generation (NNGS) with following features:
• Suitable for both complex whole-genome research and consumer markets
• Accuracy – 99.9999% – our device is valid for any applications, including medicine
• User-tweakable speed/accuracy/cost depending on a task – it is possible to adjust parameters independently and to balance speed, accuracy, cost, which the buyer of the device is needed right now, precisely for the problem being solved
• Hi-speed of sequencing: 2 hour sample preparation + 2 hour whole-genome sequencing
• Accuracy - 99.9999% - our device is valid for any applications, including medicine
