American nanotechnology company

Nanobiosym, formerly called Nanotune, is an American nanotechnology company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

History

Nanotune, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on January 10, 2002.[1] The company received $448,844 in funding in 2004 from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research for research on "biomolecular motors (biomotors)".[2] On November 4, 2004, Nanotune changed its name to Nanobiosym.[3]

Nanobiosym Diagnostics was incorporated in Delaware on February 27, 2006.[4] On September 26, 2007, Nanobiosym announced that it and Nanobiosym Diagnostics had received a $2 million contract from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) to support the development of its Gene-RADAR genetic test, "a portable nanotechnology-enabled platform, that can rapidly and accurately detect genetic fingerprints from any biological organism." The funding was described by Nanobiosym founder Anita Goel as "our first defense contract" and "a major step towards establishing the US government as one of our long-term customers."[5]
