About SiPhox

SiPhox was founded by Diedrik Vermeulen and Michael Dubrovsky one month BC (before COVID) in 2020. SiPhox’s mission is to build a next-generation biosensing platform that provides the power of several large laboratory instruments in a handheld device that accepts disposable cartridges. Each cartridge can multiplex many biomarkers on a single $0.50 silicon photonic chip and provides highly sensitive readout of immunoassays and RNA/DNA. The SiPhox team has extensive experience translating cutting-edge optical chip technology into mass-produced products used all over the world and is bringing the same proven approach to the next frontier for integrated photonics: biology.
