FAQ’s

Where are you guys based?

Privately held US Corporation,  based in Newark, California. 

Where do you get the cells?

Two routes:

  1. We purchase cells from 3rd parties, expand them and modify in some cases.
  2. We are also developing our iPSC/cell lines.
How big is a neuron?

It depends on the kind of neuron some can be several meters long and others a few microns. Ours are roughly 200 – 300 microns in size.

Humans make mistakes, don't neurons make mistakes?

Think of a new paradigm! Not the same answer every time, but a useful answer every time.

How many transistors does it take to match a neuron?

A single neuron is actually more similar to a single computer than it is to a single transistor.
