At Lightcast we are enabling scientists to gain a deeper understanding of human health and disease at the cellular level.

We're looking forward to connecting at ELRIG #DrugDiscovery2025 next week! In this clip from last year's conference, Lightcast Dir. of Portfolio Management shares what he values most about being part of the ELRIG community. Find Paul and the Lightcast team in Booth F08!

“Phenotype tells you what a cell is — but 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 tells you if it has 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹.” 💡 In this video, Lightcast Assoc. Dir. of Commercial Development Carrie Maynard explains why functional assays are so important for driving innovation in #DrugDiscovery. #ScienceSky #SingleCell

Antibody-based immunotherapies can target disease with high precision — but #AntibodyDiscovery workflows are slow & costly. Using streamlined functional analysis earlier in the discovery process can help deliver promising therapies quicker, writes our own Jonathan Didier. go.lightcast.bio/47R6ZoF

Why antibody discovery needs to focus on function

Early functional testing could transform the future of antibody-based therapies — here’s how.

Recently, a few colleagues shared their artwork inspired by our home city of #Cambridge, featuring quiet moments along the River Cam, the charm of the Waterman pub, and the wisteria-covered buildings that brighten up any walk about town! Thanks to Alfonso, Anna and Greta for sharing their talents!
