About Kern Systems

School

Harvard Medical School

The exponential growth of digital data we are generating outpaces our ability to store that data with existing technologies. DNA represents an attractive data storage medium given its superior density, stability, longevity, and energy-efficiency. However, current DNA data storage costs are prohibitively high ($3,500 per 1 MB). Kern Systems is leveraging the power of enzymes and cutting-edge software to store digital data in DNA cheaper, faster, and at scale.
