Bharath Takulapalli

Founder & CEO
SPOC Proteomics

Bharath is an inventor of multiple foundational life science technologies at the interface of nanotechnology, systems biology and ML/AI, being developed to extract 100x more information from systems biology (genotype and phenotype) than currently possible. He conceived of Sensor-integrated Proteome On Chip (SPOC) technology to bridge a large gap in the current proteomic tools space, to democratize high-throughput kinetic screening of protein bindings and interactions. SPOC is the first and only technology that enables production of 1000s of full-length folded proteins on 1.5 sq-cm biosensor chips, for simultaneous real time biosensing of protein bindings and interactions, to yield qualitative, quantitative and kinetic information in a single assay. Bharath has 20 years of experience at the at the interface of single molecule biophysics, solid-state-electronics and molecular biology and holds multiple patents in these areas. He is also the inventor of FENT solid-state nanopore technology for 1000x faster DNA sequencing at 1/10th the cost, being developed by iNanoBio Inc. Bharath’s vision is to develop complex scalable technologies, to achieve 90% disease preemption, which aims to detect and intervene in pre-disease phases, to cure before full disease onset.
