MBC BioLabs Announces New Partnership with Deepcell
[San Francisco, CA – May 1, 2026] – MBC BioLabs is pleased to announce a new partnership with Deepcell to advance our shared commitment to supporting life sciences startups with the advanced technologies and scientific resources they need to accelerate their research and development.
Through this partnership, MBC BioLabs resident companies will gain access to Deepcell’s AI-powered platform for single-cell analysis, as well as its REM-I equipment available on-site at 1030 Brittan. Using this technology, startups can analyze cells based on their morphology in a label-free, hypothesis-free way, unlocking new insights into disease biology and therapeutic development. Deepcell’s platform supports research across oncology, drug discovery, and cell and gene therapy.
MBC BioLabs residents can connect with the Deepcell team to discuss the partnership benefits in more detail.
About Deepcell
Deepcell is a life science company bringing artificial intelligence to cell biology, enabling a fundamentally new mode of single-cell discovery based on what a cell looks like — not just what molecules it expresses. Through the commercially available REM-I Platform, Deepcell enables label-free, hypothesis-free characterization and sorting of single cells at scale, opening an entirely new dimension of biological insight — morpholomics — inaccessible to conventional genomic or proteomic approaches. At the core is the Human Foundation Model, a self-supervised AI trained on billions of cell images, powering applications in tumor microenvironment profiling, cellular heterogeneity analysis, circulating tumor cell research, and therapeutic target discovery across oncology, drug discovery, and cell and gene therapy. Customers include leading cancer research institutions and top pharmaceutical companies worldwide, including MD Anderson Cancer Center, MIT, and Erasmus MC. Spun out of Stanford University in 2017, Deepcell has raised over $100 million in venture capital and is based in Menlo Park, California.
