WHO ARE WE

At Parse Biosciences we are passionate about our mission of accelerating progress in human health and scientific research. At the core of our company is our pioneering approach for single cell sequencing--originally published in Science in 2018.

At Parse, we are providing researchers with the ability to perform single cell sequencing with unprecedented scale and ease.
