Cellanome

Cellanome is a Foster City, California life-science tools company building a multimodal single-cell analysis platform. Its technology pairs time-lapse live-cell imaging with single-cell molecular profiling such as transcriptomics, so researchers can watch cells behave over time and then connect that behavior to their molecular state. The company was founded by veterans of Illumina and Seer, with Omead Ostadan as CEO, Mostafa Ronaghi as cofounder and Jay Flatley as chairman. It sells into oncology, immunology, neuroscience, and aging and metabolic disease research.

Proprietary CellCage micro-environments keep individual cells or small ensembles in a biocompatible enclosure through culture, imaging, perturbation and sequencing, so dynamic behavior and downstream molecular readouts come from the same cells in one integrated workflow rather than from separate static assays.
