NanoImaging Services

NanoImaging Services provides cryo-electron microscopy, protein production, and nanoparticle characterization services for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The company offers structural biology solutions including sample preparation and computational infrastructure, supporting structure-based drug design along with method validation services. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in San Diego, NanoImaging Services has raised approximately $13.7M in Series A funding from investors including Ampersand Capital, NIH, Merck Capital Ventures, HHS, and Autonomy Ventures. The company employs 40 people and provides contract cryo-EM services that enable drug discovery researchers to determine high-resolution 3D structures of proteins and protein-drug complexes without requiring crystallization, addressing a critical bottleneck in structure-based drug design where access to cryo-EM expertise and equipment has been limited by the high cost and specialized nature of the technology.
