1/6 @quantum_si represents the next logical step for my work in massively-parallel DNA sequencing (next-generation DNA sequencing, NGS) and proteomics. My teams created the NGS field in 2005 (454 Life Sciences) and with it changed life sciences and medicine forever. 
2/6 We had the covers of both Nature and Science for our proteomics work, and were first to move NGS onto a semiconductor chip with Ion Torrent.
3/6 With @quantum_si we have created the world's first semiconductor chip to enable next-generation PROTEIN sequencing and single molecule proteomics.
4/6 We combine our chip with a true end-to-end solution that includes sample preparation and data analysis, along with a second ultra-low cost version of our instrument we will use to bring proteomics to the home.
5/6 While our DNA tells us what could happen, single molecule proteomics tells us what is about to happen, providing greater insights and ultimately better treatments for human disease. My dream includes seeing a heart attack coming days before it happens.
6/6 We are doing for proteins what we previously did for DNA and are ideally positioned to disrupt, expand, and “make digital” the $36B proteomics market.
