Xilis is an oncology and precision health company that diagnoses cancer and finds the right treatment. The company uses “micro-organoids” to make thousands of 3D replicas of a patient’s tumor in about six days, which the company says can be used for testing for drug compatibility faster. It was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Durham, North Carolina.
10x Genomics is creating revolutionary DNA sequencing technology to help researchers better identify subtle variations that are overlooked by technologies that shred biological samples into tiny fragments before sequencing the short stretches and using computers to assembling them into a genome.
