Company mission

Parse Biosciences' mission is to accelerate progress in human health and scientific research.

Our take

Parse Biosciences provides researchers with a range of scalable solutions for single-cell sequencing. This is a methodology that’s rapidly increasing in popularity, having already led to significant discoveries in cancer treatment, immunity, stem cell therapy, and various other areas.

Where Parse sees itself as superior to an already competitive market is how its patent-based products allow scientists to examine cells at scale, tailored to their own experimental needs, with no other benchtop lab instruments required.

Co-founders Alex Rosenberg and Charles Roco have been generating excitement across the industry ever since they published their proof of concept for their sequencing techniques in 2018, just before launching the company.

Since then, Parse has been growing impressively, using multiple funding rounds to expand its headcount, product range, and global footprint. Its latest round will support the company's continued expansion as it scales to meet increasing demand and serves its long list of academic, biotech, and pharma customers.
