Bluebee, a joint spin-out of Delft University of Technology (DUT) and Imperial College London, has raised €1.75m ($1.9m) in a series A round backed by DUT and investment firm Buysee & Partners.
The Netherlands-based firm, founded in 2011, is developing a cloud-based DNA sequencing platform backed by accelerated hardware, which combines intuitive design with a focus on protecting DNA data.
Hans Cobben, CEO of Bluebee, said: “Our technology solves the biggest bottleneck in DNA analysis today and will help save lives by bringing real-time, personalised medicine one step closer. We enable virtually unlimited scaling up of sequencing capacity, which is a first in this industry.”
