Adan Orta and David Julovich spent four years developing the multimillion-dollar machine."If you think about it, what the lab could do in a given week, this system could do in a day," Orta said.The Unicorn’s ability to process data quickly and efficiently allows for a larger number of participants to be studied, including underrepresented groups like Mexican Americans, who have a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
