Our Vision
At Eikon, we believe the future of drug discovery will incorporate live cell imaging of single protein movement in cells, and we are pioneering a new method of drug discovery based on tracking and measuring these movements. The ability to assess protein dynamics will reveal novel biological mechanisms of action, providing new therapeutic approaches that will address both existing and novel drug targets. These insights will form the basis for innovative new therapies for grievous illness.
Our Technology
Our proprietary, purpose-built platforms combine live-cell super-resolution microscopy & cutting-edge engineering to permit precise characterization of protein interactions in living cells with exceptional spatial and temporal resolution. These tools provide a means of examining fleeting but essential interactions among individual protein molecules in living cells, at a massive scale. We believe this knowledge will enable the discovery of innovative treatments that will improve and extend life.
Learn moreOur Approach
We work with lasers, super-resolution microscopes, and robot arms. We leverage machine learning, cell line engineering, and the collective intelligence of world-class scientists and technologists to observe therapeutically relevant biology in a way no one has before. We are endlessly curious, intellectually honest and we love what we do. We thrives on the energy and creativity of our diverse and interdisciplinary teams.
