iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Excited to share that we have received an NIH Director’s Transformative Research Award!🎉 Our project, Encore, combines optical barcoding and cell imaging to test 1.6M+ drug-disease combinations in parallel, aiming to repurpose existing drugs for rare genetic conditions.
