Zeon Systems recently launched!
Founded by Brontë Kolar & Tahir D'Mello
Brontë built electronic systems for electric aircraft and high-density battery packs before pivoting to computational biology research at UCSF, UC Berkeley, and Erasmus Medical Center.
Tahir has been building software and ML for science labs basically all his adult life, doing computational research at IIT, Yale and working in biotech and pharma across India and the US.
The biggest scientific breakthroughs -- think Selman Waksman mining microbes for antibiotics or Akira Yoshino testing early lithium-ion batteries at Sony -- started in labs through painful, manual work. Decades later, discovery still relies on pipetting, weighing, and prepping by hand.
It’s inefficient, exhausting, and slows down discovery. Automation solutions exist, but are often $$$ or built for specific use cases.
They want to change that.
What if you could run an experiment by just typing it out?
That’s what they are building for: automation that’s usable by everyday scientists.
They sell a hardware + software system that runs lab experiments using off-the-shelf robotics. Labs receive a ready-to-run automation setup that includes:
How it works:
They are already piloting with labs at UCSF and Stanford to:
Eventually, they want to enable labs that run themselves. Think self-driving labs on Mars or in the middle of the ocean doing science while humans dream. 🪐 🧪🧬
