He is best known for inventing and commercializing massively parallel DNA sequencing, which earned him a National Medal of Technology and Innovation from President Obama, the nations highest honor for technological achievement.

Maybe I feel, whenever were at forks in history, I have to do everything I can to help.. Those with resources at their disposal had some options. 4Catalyzer companies include Butterfly Network, Quantum-Si, Hyperfine, Tesseract Health, Liminal Sciences, Detect, AI Therapeutics, and Protein Evolution, Inc.[16]. It wasn't until early August that his test gave a positive result in the wild: a replacement chef was prevented from coming onboard before he could expose everyone. You can read this a hundred times, but its a personal lesson in how insidious this thing is. Rothberg put the chef up in a motel for two weeks.

Hyperfine is promoting its portable MRI as an option for overburdened hospitals.
