What we stand for

Empowering researchers

LUMICKS is a next-generation life science tools company focused on enabling more efficient research, drug development, bioprocessing, bioproduction quality control, and patient treatment. For the first time ever, our unapparelled solutions can assist research by directly linking structural and ‘omics analysis to functional outcomes at both a molecular and a cellular level. This is achieved by applying and measuring forces around biological interactions, enabling the detailed real-time analysis of underlying biological mechanisms.

We have leveraged our deep biophysics expertise to develop differentiated technologies that are designed to drive new and faster innovations. Our products utilize our proprietary dynamic single-molecule (DSM) analysis and cell-binding avidity (CA) analysis technologies.

Dynamic single-molecule analysis

Combining Nobel-prize winning technologies

Our DSM solutions combine Nobel-prize-winning technologies –optical tweezers (Nobel Prize for Physics 2018) and STED super-resolution (Nobel Prize for Chemistry 2014)– to enable simultaneous manipulation, measurement, and visualization of single-molecule interactions. Researchers use our DSM instruments to unravel the molecular mechanisms governing DNA processes, protein folding, and cellular structure and transport. New insights and advances in these fields have the potential to accelerate research and drug development in numerous areas of high unmet clinical need, such as neurodegeneration, oncology, and rare genetic diseases.

Cell avidity analysis

Providing the next biomarker for cancer immunotherapy

Our cell avidity solutions use acoustics to measure forces and interactions between cells. We designed our instruments to provide rapid, in vitro confirmation of the mode of action and effectiveness of an immunotherapy product, thereby enabling the prediction of efficacy and side-effects in the lab before the product enters in vivo models. We believe our cell avidity solutions can shorten the drug development cycle for adoptive cell therapies and other immunotherapies and reduce failure rates in clinical trials.
