We sequence genomes and map transcriptomes with ease. Why is the proteome still invisible?
Proteins are where biology actually happens. But until now, we have lacked the tools to read them at scale.
@jendionne and her team are building nanophotonic chips that turn proteins into readable signals. Not by inference, but by directly measuring their molecular fingerprints. We sat down with her to learn more about her vision for protein sequencing. Article linked below
SynBioBeta 2026 is May 4-7th in San Jose, California, you can learn more about the conference and get your tickets here: https://t.co/96IRAmgbEi
“Pumpkinseed reads directly from molecular vibrations, requiring no catalog and no prior knowledge of what it is looking for.”
If this works at scale, it becomes the missing data layer for AI-driven biology. The foundation for virtual cells. The next infrastructure moment after the Human Genome Project.
This is exactly the kind of work that changes industries.
And these are exactly the kinds of people you want to meet in person.
Because relationships are built in the room.
Deals happen in the room.
Breakthroughs happen in the room.
Excited to have Jennifer Dionne join us at #SynBioBeta2026.

1/ Is there a credible plan to solve aging in our lifetimes?
A plausible series of steps from where we are today, to a post-aging future?
We looked, but we couldn’t find one. So we decided to build one.

Truly honoured and delighted to receive to an OBE from the Queen! What a wonderful surprise. 🙏🎖🇬🇧
Such a privilege and thrill to help entrepreneurs to build their vision and change the world... and feeling so fortunate that I get to receive a medal for doing that!
VERY excited to announce NFX's investment in Mammoth Biosciences. 👩🔬🏥⚗️ Read more about our thesis on the Network Effects in Biotechnology. Such an incredible team, technology and opportunity. @JamesCurrier@peteflint@NFXGuild https://t.co/hsTx4G1BnA
