Helicos BioSciences Corporation is a start up bioscience company that will develop and market instruments and reagents for the high speed sequencing of single DNA or RNA molecules. We believe our technology will revolutionize life science research.

While the completion of the human genome is an important scientific milestone, a large number of questions in genetics and medicine remain unanswered. Research across many areas of life science is significantly hampered by a lack of tools that can directly reveal genomic information. The effective diagnosis and management of important diseases is also impeded by lack of genomic information. We will address these problems by developing a cost effective method for high speed, single molecule nucleic acid sequencing.
