About us Trusted for our single-cell, qPCR, and omics expertise
Single Cell Discoveries is a science-led CRO that brings together deep expertise across transcriptomics, qPCR, proteomics, and data analysis. From exploratory research to validated services, our scientists help researchers choose the right approach, generate high-quality data in our laboratories in the Netherlands and Sweden, and get meaningful answers to complex biological questions.
The leading CRO for multiomics and qPCR
Single Cell Discoveries brings together deep expertise in advanced discovery and precision validation to support pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies across drug development.
From single-cell and spatial biology to data analysis, proteomics, qPCR and dPCR, our teams in the Netherlands and Sweden help customers discover biological signals, understand what matters and translate those findings into robust assays for further development.
History
Two scientific legacies. One precision biology CRO.
Single Cell Discoveries grew out of the Van Oudenaarden lab at the Hubrecht Institute in Utrecht, where co-founder Mauro Muraro developed SORT-seq, a plate-based single-cell RNA sequencing method published in 2016. This work helped establish the Single Cell Core Facility at the Hubrecht Institute, led by Judith Vivié.
In 2018, Mauro Muraro and Judith Vivié founded Single Cell Discoveries to make single-cell sequencing technologies available as a service to researchers. Since then, SCD has expanded its capabilities across single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, bulk RNA sequencing, multi-omics, and data analysis. SCD became a certified service provider for numerous technology providers, including 10x Genomics, Parse Biosciences & BioSkryb Genomics.
In 2026, Single Cell Discoveries acquired TATAA Biocenter, an SCD company, expanding SCD's capabilities into qPCR, dPCR, proteomics, assay development, and regulated bioanalysis.
TATAA was founded in 2001 and has more than two decades of experience in molecular analysis, particularly qPCR and dPCR. Its Gothenburg laboratory adds GLP-accredited and GCLP-compliant capabilities for preclinical and clinical studies.
Today, SCD combines expertise across transcriptomics, PCR, proteomics, data analysis, and regulated bioanalysis.
Our expertise spans two sides of drug development that are often separated: advanced biological discovery and downstream validation. In Utrecht, our scientists specialize in single-cell and spatial biology, transcriptomics, technology development, and data analysis. In Gothenburg, our scientists bring decades of expertise in qPCR, dPCR, molecular assay development, proteomics, and regulated bioanalysis.
Together, we can help customers move from discovering biological signals to validating and measuring them as their programs progress.
Mission
To support scientists with their molecular and omics programs by providing deep expertise, tailored solutions, and high-quality data that enable confident and faster decision-making.
Vision
To help translate biology into medicine through the power of molecular & omics technologies.
CERTIFIED SERVICE PROVIDERS
