Pioneering a new dimension in virtual reality: The nanoscale
Like many other tech entrepreneurs, UC San Diego Class of 2017 engineering grad Dennis Chiang got his start in a basement. But he and fellow classmates behind the UC San Diego startup Nanome haven’t exactly been working amid dusty garden tools and old sports equipment as they seek to establish their business. Their Basement — UC San Diego’s high-tech incubator — includes access to cutting-edge equipment and mentoring from world-renowned engineers and business leaders.
It was just what Chiang and his fellow inventors needed, not just to create a new company, but to revolutionize an industry.
Nanome lets scientists, researchers and drug manufacturers use virtual reality to visualize and explore nanoscale materials as if they were large enough to touch and to hold.
Many people think of virtual reality as the next wave of video gaming. Nanome’s founders are leapfrogging forward to its potential for tangible real-world uses — allowing researchers to manipulate objects thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair.
“It’s hard to wrap your head around an object you’ll never see,” said Chiang. “This enables us to actually scale up these objects so we can see their dimensions.”
Nanome was co-founded by 2015 graduate Steven McCloskey, part of the first class to earn a degree in nanoengineering. Together with fellow 2016 management science graduate Keita Funakawa, he seized upon the idea to use virtual reality to help people grasp difficult engineering and math concepts.
The company, which has completed its first round of seed funding, is focused on building applications for drug manufacturers that will enable them to see in fine detail the surfaces of the molecules they are constructing.
Up to now, scientists have had to rely on still images taken with high-powered microscopes, along with their own imaginations, to see things at the molecular level. Nanome incorporates detailed molecular information from scientific databases to build three-dimensional models of nanoscale materials so researchers can visualize the molecules and simulate how they will interact with target cells.
The information can help manufacturers work more quickly and with greater precision.
