Lumicks

Lumicks is bringing novel tools for single-molecule biophysics to market, enabling scientific researchers across biology and medicine to unlock new types of experiments. Our primary technology, C-Trap, can be used to 'grab' a single molecule, and apply precise mechanical forces to it. At the same time, one can visualize the molecule using highly-sensitive fluorescence microscopy. Our customers use it to watch DNA being copied by the molecular machinery of the cell, or observe molecular 'engines' walking across the scaffolding structures of a human cell. Lumicks systems are currently in use in opinion-leading labs across the globe, including Rockefeller University, Johns Hopkins, ShanghaiTech, Max-Planck, Imperial College, and Pasteur Institute. We're an academic spin-off from a research group at VU University Amsterdam. We care deeply about providing our users with easy-to-use, reliable software that actively supports Open Data and Reproducible Science. To support our rapid growth, we're looking to expand our software team.
