Nevada Center for Applied Research (NCAR) graduate, Bioelectronica® Corporation, applies new round of venture funding to expand hiring and innovation in digital biochemistry
RENO, Nev., March 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Bioelectronica Corporation ("Bioelectronica") announced today the addition of new members to their team in Reno, NV, as the company continues to experience growing interest in their drug discovery platform, Hypercell®. The company recently reached critical milestones and received venture funding from Proxima Ventures. As it expands, Bioelectronica has been fortunate to interview and hire qualified life sciences candidates from the local talent pool. Local job creation is a result of years of work and initiative funding by the State of Nevada to promote innovation, economic development and workforce development, especially at NCAR, located on the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno.
Bioelectronica incubated at NCAR, an exceptionally well-equipped wet bench facility for emerging early-stage startups, before graduating and expanding to their new corporate headquarters in Reno. Initially occupying just a single bench, Bioelectronica is a Nevada biotech success story that illustrates the benefits of planning and investments in science, technology and education. The company continues to maintain a close connection to the University and NCAR as they advance innovations with their beachhead product Hypercell®, the first system to facilitate single cell sorting and drug discovery using Computer Vision Single Cell Sorting (CVSCS).
"Bioelectronica blends innovation, science and technology, and represents an emerging biotech presence in our region. It was a pleasure to see this company successfully scale-up on the University of Nevada, Reno campus through our Nevada Center for Applied Research, and they continue to work with us. This is an example of business and economic development being supported by the Nevada Knowledge Fund and the Governor's Office of Economic Development," said Carlos Cardillo, director of the Nevada Center for Applied Research.
"We plan to put Reno and the State of Nevada on the map for Biotech. The Governor's Office of Economic Development and the Nevada Knowledge Fund have created a powerful waterfall effect through their support of NCAR. Nevada startups like Bioelectronica sit in an innovation ecosystem fostered by NCAR. We are able to provide employment opportunities to graduates through jobs creation and in turn, source qualified candidates in the life sciences to support our growth. In short, we could not have advanced this quickly without NCAR," said Jonathan Hull, CEO and co-founder of Bioelectronica.
In an industry where startup failure rates are high, due in large part to the capital-intensive nature of biotech, Bioelectronica has been able to prove out their technology because of programs such as the Nevada Knowledge Fund and NCAR's incubator. Hypercell® is now being used in labs globally to accelerate early-stage drug discovery and development.
