Electronic Bio Sciences was founded in 2002 to conduct research on the development of our
core technology for measurement of the electrical potential in cells. The focus of our work is to
take cell potential measurements without breaching the cell membrane or otherwise harming the cell.
This innovation would allow long-term measurements of intact, living cells, a concept with applications
ranging through many fields.
Non-Invasive Readout of the Bioelectric Potential of a Cell
In 2003, Electronic Bio Sciences was awarded a contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)
to investigate the development of sensing technology capable of non-invasively measuring the electrical potential
of a living cell. In 2004, follow-on funding for broadening of the research was awarded by DARPA in the amount of
115% of the original award.
Preliminary Analysis of Possible Configurations for Stochastic Sensing Systems
In 2005, DARPA awarded Electronic Bio Sciences a contract to investigate configurations for stochastic sensing systems.
Stochastic sensing is a molecule level detection process that can identify specific analytes in a mixture and also
determine the concentration of those analytes. Current techniques involve rather cumbersome laboratory apparatuses and
Electronic Bio Sciences’ research will yield valuable information on how to better leverage this technique to accomplish
a wide range of research tasks.
Engineered Biomolecular Nano Devices/Systems
In 2005, Electronic Bio Sciences was selected to receive a $12 million contract under the DARPA program “Engineered Biomolecular Nano
Devices/Systems.” The objective of the research to be conducted under this project is exploring innovations that allow the
development of interfaces to enable real-time translation of molecular events into electrical signal measurements. The end
goal of the work is to use these signal measurements for analysis and detection of molecular targets. Electronic Bio Sciences
has
assembled a large group of talented collaborators to accomplish this goal. As of June 2008, our collaborators include groups from the University of Utah, University of Texas Arlington, University of Miami, Texas A&M and the Max Planck Institute Mainz.
Electronic Bio Sciences is led by founder Dr. Andrew D. Hibbs, who is also CEO of sister companies Quantum Applied Science & Research (QUASAR), Inc. and QUASAR Federal Systems (QFS), Inc. QUASAR
and QFS are world leaders in the development of electromagnetic sensors and systems for applications in the
medical, geophysical science and defense industries.
Intellectual Property
Electronic Biosciences has an active IP program, with patent pending on all of our core technology and plans to continue
to protect our ideas and products. EBS’s team of professionals has extensive experience in IP portfolio management and
we have established a productive relationship with a firm specializing in IP legal services that has offices in close proximity
to the USPTO.
