ABOUT US
Ferrologix Inc
Ferrologix was launched in 2015 as a startup from the University of California Los Angeles emerging from Professor Dino Di Carlo's lab in the department of bioengineering.
The core technology, known as magnetic ratcheting or ratcheting cytometry, was developed by Dr. Coleman Murray, Edward Pao, and Professor Dino Di Carlo as a high precision, high speed cell sorting platform which utilizes micro-magnetic fields. Ferrologix Inc was launched to commercialize the core technology for applications in life science research, diagnostic sample prep, cell therapy manufacturing, and high throughput screening assays. Tim Tiemann joined Ferrologix as CEO to bring life science entrepreneurship experience to a highly motivated team.
The company has since developed the technology into several portable systems systems which are currently deployed at several research laboratories across the US.
