Early Access Program Launch and Strategic Collaborations
Launched Iterative Mapping Early Access Program in January 2026 and debuted the Voyager platform at US HUPO; established collaborations including the Michael J. Fox Foundation/Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar alpha-synuclein program and ongoing work with Buck Institute and Allen Institute, enabling unique proteoform-level biological insights.
First Named Early Access Customer and Growing Scientific Engagement
Announced first named EAP customer, Baylor College of Medicine, and reported multiple active collaborator engagements (Buck Institute, Allen Institute, Neural Stem Cell Institute), positioning the service offering to generate publication-quality data and grant-supporting results.
Commercial Team Build-Out
Strengthened commercial organization by hiring Amber Faust as VP of Global Sales plus two additional sales hires (team of 3), improving readiness to prospect customers ahead of planned late-2026 preorder and early-2027 installations.
Service Lab Operational Milestone and Assay Verification
Formalized service lab capability and completed verification and validation for the Tau proteoform service assay; the assay met requirements for accuracy, dynamic range, reproducibility and stability, and standardized customer-facing data packages for publication-quality outputs.
Oncology Proteoform Assay Progress and Target Prioritization
Completed down-selection of oncology proteoform targets (examples: EGFR, AKT1, p53) and remain on target to place one oncology-focused proteoform assay into Early Access in H2 2026, expanding addressable markets beyond neurodegeneration.
Broadscale Assay Configuration Improvements and Probe Qualification Gains
Advanced key components for broadscale assays (flow cells, surface chemistry, computational models) and nearly tripled the number of probes qualified as assay-compatible in Q1 (≈3x increase in qualified probes), with largest number of high-cycle decode experiments to date and routine inclusion of lysate mixtures in experiments.
Compelling Scientific Findings Demonstrating Differentiation
Collaborator data (Buck Institute) revealed distinctive Tau proteoform distributions linked to ApoE mutations—biology previously intractable—demonstrating unique, highly differentiated single-molecule proteoform data that can drive discovery, publications and AI model training.
Cost Discipline and Cash Position
Q1 operating discipline: total operating expenses of $16.1M (down 14% YoY), R&D $9.7M (down 16% YoY), G&A $6.4M (down 12% YoY); ended quarter with $143.4M in cash, cash equivalents and investments and reported Q1 cash burn of $12.8M (including $1.1M cash from option exercises), with management stating runway through 2027.
