Cellanome Grant Program

Some biological questions require understanding not only what cells express, but how they behave over time. The Cellanome Research Grant provides researchers access to paired longitudinal imaging and single-cell RNA sequencing through Psomagen’s Cellanome service.

We're awarding two researchers a complete, full-service single-cell RNA-seq experiment on the Cellanome R3200 platform — pairing live cell imaging with single-cell sequencing on the same cells.

Each award carries a value of up to approximately $25,000, depending on each winner's experimental configuration and sample requirements.

Included:

One 3T Flow Cell — up to 8 lanes (single-cell RNA-seq), supporting up to 8 experimental conditions
Library prep and sequencing: mRNA-Seq, or mRNA-Seq + CRISPR-Seq (your choice)
Cell type: adherent or suspension (your choice)
Cell culture required for the Cellanome process
Full processing, QC, and data delivery

Not included (provided by winner or quoted separately):

Drug treatments, antibody treatments, and staining reagents — these depend on your specific project
Proper shipping of cells and associated reagents — cells must be frozen per Psomagen guidelines and shipped on dry ice (guide provided).

Why Apply?

Generate New Biological Insights

Bring us your most challenging biological question. We’ll help you determine whether paired longitudinal imaging and transcriptomics can reveal new insights.

Connect Phenotype with Transcriptomics

Proven research applications in treatment resistance, immune cell function, cellular heterogeneity, and functional phenotyping.

Study Cells Over Time

Groundbreaking technology lets you continuously monitor living cells and link their history directly to single-cell RNA sequencing results.

Receive Publication-Ready Data

We help you design your experiment and protocols, then we handle the hands-on project run. You own your single-cell data and publishing rights.

Savings for Submissions

Not selected for the grant program? There's still plenty of reason to apply! All participants will receive a 10% discount on their Cellanome R3200 single-cell service project price.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The 10% discount is available to eligible applicants who submit a complete application but are not selected as grant winners. Grant winners are not eligible.
The discount applies to the Cellanome R3200 service project price only, as quoted following a consultation with the Psomagen team. It does not apply to drug treatments, antibody treatments, staining reagents, shipping, or other third-party or pass-through costs.
The final project price is determined at consultation based on the applicant's experimental configuration and sample requirements; the 10% discount is applied to that quoted price.
Both the Purchase Order (PO) and samples must be received on or before December 31, 2026.
Limit one discount per applicant. The discount is valid for Research Use Only (RUO) projects, cannot be combined with any other active promotion or discounted pricing agreement, and cannot be applied retroactively to existing quotations or project.
