Our take

Berkeley Lights is a leading digital cell biology company, specializing in cell processing and deep profiling that produces in-depth information about cell function. The company's technology helps biologists working in cellular therapy discovery, biopharmaceuticals, and other cell-based product development, enabling them to speed up their research for the fast-paced new age of science.

With Berkeley Lights' technology, users can look through thousands of cells at once - with relevant phenotypic, genotypic and imaging information visualized for convenience. Its work has a multitude of uses, with one recent application being in the generation of functional monoclonal antibodies from rabbit memory B cells. Monoclonal antibodies are extremely useful in heightened disease detection - just one example of how Berkeley Lights' technology can help in the real world.
