## About

Established in 2020 and based in Massachusetts, US, CytoTronics, Inc. provides a platform for optics-free imaging for drug discovery and develops cell culture plates with incorporated high-density electronic systems. The company was formed from a spinout of multi-disciplinary research projects from three Labs at Harvard University spanning semiconductor design, chemistry, and systems biology. The founders include Jeffrey Abbott, CEO, Duane Sword, CBO, and Vince Wu, CTO. In September 2024, CytoTronics, Inc. raised USD 13.5 million in seed funding co-led by new investor LYFE Capital and returning investor Anzu Partners. New investors Legend Star, Rochester Institute of Technology, Draper Associates, BoxOne Ventures, and other unspecified investors also participated in the round. The company can provide real-time, live cell electrochemical imaging of cell cultures and novel in-vitro screens by putting consumer-grade CMOS chips directly into each well of a cell-culture microplate. The technology can be used in fields such as inflammation and cystic diseases. Measuring metabolic state, apoptosis/necrosis for cancer applications and electrical parameters for cardiovascular or neurological diseases also serves as a mission of the company.
