Overcoming Common Challenges in Single Cell RNA-seq Experiments with PIPseq: UCSF Case Study

Launched in 2018, Fluent BioSciences was built on technology developed by co-founder Adam Abate’s laboratory at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).  Fluent is well funded by leading firms specializing in early stage life science companies (see list of investors below).
