Exciting news from Ultima Genomics! Another step closer to unlocking the power of genomics at scale 🧬
Ultima is extremely proud to announce that the #UG100 sequencer has been selected by the UK Biobank Pharma Proteomics Project (UKBB-PPP) to be the sequencing technology for the largest human proteome project in the world. Together with 14 pharma and AI companies, over 600,000 samples will be sequenced at Regeneron using Olink Proteomics’s HT platform. The UG 100 was built for large-scale studies - factors such as quality, data accuracy, complementarity with Olink, cost-effectiveness and reliability were paramount. Ultima’s seamless integration with Olink, its ease of user adoption, and compatibility with laboratory information management systems (LIMS) will ensure streamlined workflows to support this project.

A huge moment for Commonwealth Fusion Systems and an important milestone for our energy future! We have been on this journey since 2018 and look forward to what's next from Bob Mumgaard and team.
Fusion is coming... to Chesterfield County, Virginia. In an enormous development for Commonwealth Fusion Systems and for the commercialization of fusion energy, CFS has committed to build the world's first grid-scale fusion power plant, ARC, in Virginia. We evaluated more than 100 sites around the world before settling on this location, a good site with good infrastructure and a strong appetite for the firm supply of power we'll provide. We'll independently finance, build, own, and operate this first-of-its-kind technology so we can start generating clean, carbon-free energy in the early 2030's. We'll also collaborate with Dominion Energy Virginia to help smooth ARC's path to the grid, benefitting from their development and technical expertise while helping the utility learn about fusion. ARC will produce about 400 megawatts of electricity — enough to power 150,000 homes in the area or some of the largest commercial and industrial sites. Watch the video to learn more and hear from our CEO, Bob Mumgaard, about the announcement. For more details, check Bob's blog post about what this means for CFS: https://bit.ly/4gF0s1c #PowerMoves
