Han Chen, CFA
Chief Scientific Officer ZeaKal
Solis is launching an exciting and new model for R&D services to support the expanding AgriFoodTech startup ecosystem. Meeting global challenges in climate, food security and sustainability requires new and improved crops. Solis will help scientists accelerate the discovery and commercialization of these important advances.
Rob Fraley
Former CTO, Monsanto & 2013 World Food Prize Laureate
Solis’ Plant Pipeline as a Service is the best integrated resource imaginable for gene editing, plant transformation, plant analysis, and greenhouse operation. Working with Solis is like having our own in-house team to manage our pipeline. They are great partners dedicated to our success.
Michael Lassner, PhD
Chief Scientific Officer Amfora
I highly recommend Solis as a sequencing and genotyping partner for any kind of genomics work. In fact, I’ve already referred at least two research labs, and both were very happy with the pricing and data quality. It’s also always a pleasure to communicate with Solis. Their customer service is excellent, quick, and efficient.
Dongyan Zhao
Genomics Lead of Breeding Insight Cornell University
At Breeding Insight, we work with public plant and animal breeders who often face tight budgets and niche genomic data needs. Solis helped us get the most sequencing coverage for our fixed budget, and the flexibility of their WGS platform was a perfect fit. Hudson has been a tremendous help—working with him feels like having a coworker at Solis, someone truly invested in our success.
