Our Mission is to Map the Universe of Biology. Improving the human condition is what fuels our passion for finding new ways of enabling scientific exploration. As a company, we strive to create end-to-end solutions that are simpler, easier, faster and more relevant to today's life science challenges. As the pioneer in the field ofspatial biology,NanoStringenables scientists across the globe to envision molecular interactions in three dimensions with three different systems, the, the(DSP) and the(SMI) platform. As a result, scientists can see themultiomicexpression of genes and proteins in the natural context of tissue structure. Since our founding in 2003, we have earned a reputation as a respected, trusted pioneer of innovative technologies that support our customers in their relentless pursuit of answers. Our products are based on a novel digital molecular barcoding technology invented at the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) in Seattle under the direction of Dr. Leroy Hood. With our technologies, our customers continue to extend our understanding of biology to answer previously unsolvable questions with consistent, reliable results. However,NanoStringis much more than innovative products. The secret sauce to the company's success is our people, who are committed to excellence and dedicated to catalyzing the next biological revolution. Collectively, we live our corporate values of ambition, grit, ingenuity, authenticity, and customers every day...and never stop asking "What if?"
