Cells are the basic unit of life. They power everything we do, and unlocking their secrets is the key to advancing our knowledge of every facet of biology, from development to disease. Our single cell, spatial, and in situ tools enable researchers to answer pressing questions about cells and their functional contributions to oncology, immunology, neuroscience, and much more—as evidenced by more than 5,500 publications citing our technology. We are dedicated to building the best products, delivering the best customer experience, and creating the best team to fuel new scientific discovery, no matter how challenging. And we won’t stop until all of the cells’ secrets are revealed.

GeoHazards International works to end preventable death and suffering from natural disasters. Our projects address risk from earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and floods. We help communities in which people are highly vulnerable and there is little capacity to mitigate hazards. Our approach emphasizes building skills and experience among local engineers, scientists, government agencies, universities, and building trades. Much of our work targets school and hospital readiness, improved engineering and construction, and development policies. We also educate people how to safeguard their families and neighborhoods. “Communities” in our projects range from an association of nations (the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development), a nation (Bhutan), a megacity (Delhi), a village (Chocos, Peru), a dispersed ethnic group (Tibetans in northern India), or particularly vulnerable segments of society (sight-impaired individuals, women or children). A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, GeoHazards International has conducted significant projects in more than 40 communities around the world since its founding in 1991. Headquarters is based in California. Field offices are located in New Delhi, India; Aizawl, India; and Thimphu, Bhutan.
