This strategic acquisition combines two modern spatial biology platforms with Takara Bio’s industry-leading portfolio of single-cell genomics instruments.
TBUSH is an entirely owned subsidiary of Takara Bio Inc. (“Takara Bio”), a number one international biotechnology and life science firm headquartered in Shiga, Japan. Takara Bio USA, Inc. (“TBUSA”) is an entirely owned subsidiary of TBUSH. TBUSA and TBUSH are a part of the worldwide Takara Bio Group, which presents numerous life science services supporting discovery, translational, and scientific scientists in advancing their analysis.
The Curio Bioscience acquisition will lengthen the facility of Takara Bio’s NGS options and provides clients deeper insights into tissue spatial group and molecular composition. “We’re pleased with our historical past of innovation within the single-cell genomics market, having developed the primary commercially obtainable kits for single-cell RNA- and DNA-seq,” stated Carol Lou, President and CEO of Takara Bio USA. “The acquisition of Curio Bioscience continues this legacy with the addition of Trekker, the primary actually single-cell spatial know-how.”
Curio’s superior Trekker and Seeker applied sciences combine spatial info with molecular knowledge, enabling researchers to rework single-cell sequencing knowledge into spatially resolved maps. This transformation presents high-resolution insights into the group and performance of cells inside their native tissue environments.
“Curio Bioscience is devoted to creating modern approaches that map all the transcriptome with unparalleled sensitivity and backbone,” stated Stephen Fodor, co-founder and CEO. “Combining Curio’s know-how with Takara Bio’s huge NGS and single-cell instrument set will present clients with industry-leading options for his or her spatial biology wants.”
By these developments, Takara Bio has solidified its place as a pacesetter within the single-cell genomics market by regularly driving innovation and supporting groundbreaking analysis within the life science marketplace for a variety of purposes in most cancers biology, neuroscience, developmental biology, and immunology.
