NanoImaging Services is a US-based Contract Research Organization specializing in cryo-electron microscopy services aimed at accelerating drug discovery, offering structural biology, nanoparticle characterization, and GMP compliant imaging supported by in-house microscopes. In March 2026, the company appointed Fraser McLeod as Chief Executive Officer. Following its acquisition of Proteos in 2024, the company also offers recombinant protein production across multiple expression systems and integrated gene-to-structure workflows for drug discovery and development.
Cyborg Score Rationale
NIS holds market leadership in cryo-EM services with strategic acquisitions (Proteos in January 2025) expanding its integrated gene-to-structure offerings. Multi-location infrastructure and private equity backing (Ampersand Capital) support execution, though limited public financial data constrains full assessment of growth trajectory and profitability.
