"Most traditional lab methods rely on frozen tissue or cells that are no longer alive, giving scientists only static snapshots of biology. By contrast, Quantum Nuova lets researchers measure cellular stress and biological changes as they happen in living cells. The platform uses ultra-sensitive fluorescent nanodiamond quantum sensors that detect signals such as oxidative stress, metabolic shifts, and free radical activity, biological processes that play a role in how diseases develop and how cells respond to treatments."
"These signals are central to understanding diseases like cancer, sepsis, and chronic inflammatory conditions, but have been difficult to watch directly until now. With Quantum Nuova, scientists can see how individual cells react to drugs, adapt to stress, or split into different subgroups. That adds a layer of insight beyond what genetics, traditional imaging, or fixed-cell methods can provide. The technology has already been used to study how FDA-approved drugs affect cells."
", a deep-tech biotech startup building tools to study living cells, announced it has secured €4 million in funding to accelerate its Quantum Nuova platform, a technology that lets scientists observe cellular processes in real time and reveal biochemical activity linked to disease. The funding includes a €3 million seed investment led by Cottonwood Technology Fund, with follow-on backing from existing investor QDNL Participations and an angel investor. In addition, the company received €600,000 from the ONCO-Q programme to support cancer research and €400,000 through the Quantum Forward Challenge for collaborative deployments with research partners."
Quantum Nuova secured €4 million to advance its Quantum Nuova platform, combining a €3 million seed round led by Cottonwood Technology Fund with follow-on support from QDNL Participations and an angel investor. Additional funding includes €600,000 from the ONCO-Q programme for cancer research and €400,000 from the Quantum Forward Challenge for collaborative deployments. The platform uses ultra-sensitive fluorescent nanodiamond quantum sensors to detect oxidative stress, metabolic shifts, and free radical activity in living cells. The sensors enable real-time measurement of cellular stress, drug responses, and subgroup formation, delivering insights beyond genetics, traditional imaging, or fixed-cell methods and targeting colorectal cancer research and drug studies.
