About SolusCell
Your ally in single cell genomics.
In the past few years, the emergence of single-cell genomic technologies has unraveled our understanding of human development and disease. However, we believe that the greatest impact of these technologies will be in enabling better agricultural crop and animal productivity while promoting a sustainable connection with the environment and human health.
OUR MISSION
At SolusCell, we are revolutionizing biology through cutting-edge single-cell genomics data generation and analysis for plants, animals, and fungi. Our mission is to address the critical lack of single-cell genomic information across these diverse organisms, by providing rapid, flexible, and accurate data and analytical solutions that empower researchers and innovators to accelerate groundbreaking discoveries in biology.
By harnessing the power of single-cell genomics, we aim to help all scientists to unlock the hidden complexities and intricacies within individual cells. Through our state-of-the-art techniques and innovative data analysis methodologies, we provide comprehensive and precise genomic insights at the single-cell level. By creating a deeper understanding of cellular heterogeneity and the dynamic interplay between cells, we enable you to uncover key trait regulators, elucidate how they determine an organism’s form and function, and how it responds to the environment.
Join us on this transformative journey as we harness the power of single-cell genomics to shape a future where discoveries in plants, animals, and microbes let us unlock the potential of single-cell biology and pioneer the next generation of biological innovations.
