This Startup Raised Over $500 Million To Find Better Drugs With Nobel Prize-Winning Microscopes

In 2014, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to three men whose work helped change the way microscopes work. For centuries, in order to observe cells in the body on a microscopic level, they had to be fixed in place. You couldn’t see them as they were working. “The only way to visualize them were as static images frozen in time,” says Roger Perlmutter, CEO of Eikon Therapeutics.
