Profiling function, cell by cell.

What we do

Analyse single cell interactions and functional dynamics at scale.

We are developing a flexible platform that enables the direct, precise interrogation of single cell heterogeneity, interactions and functional behaviours. Across a broad range of disciplines from basic and translational research to drug discovery, we provide the freedom to accelerate discovery and apply novel biological insights.
Use cases

The right solution for you

The Lightcast platform supports a wide range of single cell functional assays.
01

Biomolecule secretion

Biomolecule secretion

Biomolecule secretion

Studying functional biology at single-cell resolution is essential for understanding bio-molecule the heterogeneity in biomolecule secretion, as it reveals how individual cells regulate the production and release of antibodies, cytokines, and signalling molecules. This knowledge is crucial for discovering and developing therapeutics such as antibodies and cellular therapies. Enabling the identification and isolation of the optimal secretor cells.

02

Cell-cell interactions

Cell-cell interactions

Cell-cell interactions

Studying cell-cell functional interactions at single-cell resolution enables a deeper understanding of cellular communication.
Insights from cell-cell communication facilitates our understanding of the heterogeneity in how cells affect and influence each other resulting in disease progression and therapeutic responses or non-response, thus enabling our abilities to develop therapeutics of the future.Insights from cell-cell communication also facilitates the development of therapies, including immunotherapies and regenerative medicine, enhancing treatment strategies.

03

Targeted cell killing

Targeted cell killing

Targeted cell killing

Studying single-cell functional biology is critical for developing the most effective therapeutics, as it reveals the heterogeneity in individual cell-specific behaviours and responders and non-responders. This knowledge enables precise identification of diseased cells and the mechanisms driving their survival, leading to more accurate therapies that selectively eliminate harmful cells while preserving healthy ones.

Biomolecule secretion

Biomolecule secretion

Studying single-cell functional biology is essential for understanding bio-molecule secretion, as it reveals how individual cells regulate the production and release of hormones, enzymes, and signaling molecules. This knowledge is crucial for developing therapies targeting cellular secretion processes, enhancing drug delivery, immune response, and tissue regeneration strategies.
