Deepcell Raises $73 million Series B to Progress Single Cell ‘Morpholomics’ Platform

Deepcell, a Silicon Valley life sciences company using artificial intelligence (AI) to identify and isolate single cells based on their morphology, has raised $73 million in Series B funding to continue to progress its unique platform.

Koch Disruptive Technologies led the round, which brings the company’s overall funding to almost $100 million.
