Ionica Sciences

ionica sciences was established in 2013 to apply spectroscopic approaches to detection of biologically relevant targets, including pathogens, hormones or other indicators of disease. leveraging the chemical, spectroscopic and biochemical expertise of the cofounders, ionica aims to develop platforms that will facilitate development of inexpensive assays for use in point of care settings without the need for lengthy preparation times, extensive instrumentation, or significant training of operators. the co-founders of ionica sciences have a combined 40 years of research experience, working in the areas of chemistry, vibrational spectroscopy, molecular biology, and biotechnology, and applying these fields to the development, optimization, and product engineering of novel biological and chemical detection systems. the cofounders have extensive experience in winning us federal small business innovative research (sbir) grants in their previous position. bringing in $30 million in funding from
