摘要

With a scanner the size of an iPhone, you could look inside a person's chest and see a vivid, moving, 3-D image of what's inside. That's the goal of entrepreneur Jonathan Rothberg, who says he has raised $100 million to create an imaging device that's nearly "as cheap as a stethoscope" and will "make doctors 100 times as effective." According to patent documents, the technology relies on a new kind of ultrasound chip. It could eventually lead to new ways to destroy cancer cells with heat, or deliver information to brain cells. Rothberg has a knack for matching semiconductor technology to problems in biology. He started and sold two DNA-sequencing companies, 454 Life Sciences and Ion Torrent Systems, for more than $500 million. The profits have allowed him to ply the ocean on a 130-foot yacht named Gene Machine and to indulge high-concept hobbies like sequencing the DNA of mathematical geniuses.
