Company Details
Short description
Cell therapy, a highly anticipated field of next-generation medicine, has demonstrated promising preclinical results, but very few applications have reached the clinic owing to safety and efficacy concerns. Clinical trials of cell therapy would benefit greatly if therapeutic cell survival, distribution and function could be assessed in-vivo post-transplantation, particularly in patients. Reliable detection and the biodistribution of therapeutic cells within the entire body has long been needed to treat and alter the course of diseases which cannot be addressed adequately by existing pharmaceuticals.
LuminX Biotech dedicates to accelerate the optimization of cell-therapy-products through specific understanding of therapeutic cells distribution in-vivo, long-term viability, and their biological fate either in preclinical or clinical setting. Our technologies, LuminX Cell Therapy Enabling Platform, can transition a potential therapy from the research stage to advanced clinical and commercial applications to save lives.
Core Technology
LuminX Cell Tracking Enabling Platform provides a packaged service including LuminX Tracking Kits (LTKs), image analysis and data quantification to understanding the fate of therapeutic cells in-vivo. Labelling therapeutic cells with our LTKs to enable their detection and assess their function in-vivo has been achieved. With the help of an innovative LuminX Platform, we have been able to follow the biological fate of LuminX-labelled cells after transplantation, locate their positions in tissues with single-cell resolution, and quantify their engraftment capacity.
