Be part of something bigger

We're calling on scientists from diverse fields to join forces in an unprecedented collaborative effort to advance scientific discovery. By harnessing the power of our new cutting-edge single cell workflow, QuantumScale, join us and our collaborators to analyze a 100 million single cells or more! Scale Bio is proud to collaborate with Ultima Genomics for high-throughput sequencing, NVIDIA for advanced data analysis, and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) for additional project support. Our collaborations ensure that winning projects will have access to state-of-the-art resources throughout the entire workflow.

By submitting your single cell RNA project of at least 1 million cells/nuclei or more, you are contributing to a transformative effort that transcends individual labs and disciplines, impacting research for years to come. Be part of something bigger—submit your project for the 100 Million Cell Challenge today!

All winning projects will be completed within 6 months of close of submissions.

Why Scale?

Single cell studies are currently limited by expensive technologies or complex experimental workflows. Without the ability to profile high numbers of cells or samples, these studies have limited statistical power to detect true biological signal.

Scale Bio is on a mission to drastically reduce the complexity of highly powered, robust single cell experiments while simultaneously making single cell more affordable to enable groundbreaking research. Now you can amplify atlasing efforts, conduct high-throughput drug screens, perform large cohort studies, power your longitudinal and multi-site studies, and much more.
