Nanome

Nanome is a company developing software for life sciences, materials sciences and nano-engineering with the use of virtual reality and blockchain technology. The company was founded by Edgardo Leija, Keita Funakawa, Samuel Hessenauer and Steven McCloskey in 2016 in San Diego, California, United States.

The company looks to provide computations to leverage interactions with molecular data, and have tested molecules that should have been tested computationally, and has accelerated existing computational workflows on a molecular scale. The company looks to provide a platform to visualize and directly manipulate atoms, molecules, proteins, and more in a similar way to Minecraft for matter. Their platform is compatible with Oculus and Vive.

The company has multiple platforms including Nanome, CalcFlow, and MATRYX. Nanome is meant to analyze and design macro-molecules in real time. CalcFlow is designed to discover the foundations of vector calculus with Nanome's intuitive graphing calculator. MATRYX uses a distributed blockchain technology to solve issues of scientific access, collaboration and attribution to provide open-source innovation.
