Our flagship instrument, FATHOM™, the world’s first quantum-enabled EPR spectrometer, provides high-resolution insights into protein conformations, distance distributions, and dynamics, generating detailed, publication-ready reports for each sample. Its innovative resonator design and automated workflows allow load-and-go operation for multiple samples, reducing acquisition times from days to hours, and capturing protein motions that are difficult or impossible with traditional EPR.
FATHOM™ measures protein conformational dynamics at nanometer resolution and complements techniques such as Cryo-EM, AlphaFold predictions, and molecular dynamics simulations. The data gives researchers practical insights into protein behavior, useful for drug discovery and structural biology.
In addition to instruments, High Q Technologies offers a Sample Measurement Service (SMS), giving researchers immediate access to high-resolution EPR data without in-house equipment. SMS provides flexible options, from single-sample analyses to fully managed measurement pipelines, including custom experimental design, pilot studies, and collaboration with our scientists for method development and data interpretation.

Hawk Biosystems
Bronze Sponsor
HAWK Biosystems is an innovative biotechnology company based in Bilbao, Spain, and a spin-off from prestigious institutions such as Cancer Research UK (CRUK) and the Francis Crick Institute in London. Founded in 2018 by an exceptional team of scientists and business leaders, HAWK has rapidly positioned itself at the forefront of spatial biology, providing ground-breaking solutions for the analysis of protein functions in tissue.
At HAWK Biosystems, our mission is to develop advanced diagnostic systems that accelerate the progress of personalized medicine, focusing on critical diseases such as cancer. Our cutting-edge technology, QF-Pro®, is a revolutionary platform that enables precise, quantitative analysis of protein functions at a sub-pixel resolution. Unlike traditional techniques, QF-Pro® is capable of identifying protein-protein interactions and post-translational modifications within tissue samples at a resolution of less than 10 nanometers. This innovation provides clinicians and researchers with reproducible, robust, and unbiased data, which has demonstrated significant clinical value. For instance, QF-Pro® has been validated in a study to predict patient response to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in lung cancer, demonstrating its potential to significantly improve treatment outcomes by potentially tripling response rates and doubling survival rates.
