1/ Lux thesis of "TECH of SCIENCE"
the most cutting-edge hardware
the most sophisticated software
to do science...
Science is PROGRESS for humanity
and also PRESTIGE for individuals, companies, universities, cities, countries
This is a BIG deal. statnews.com/2021/05/05/rog…

2/ Led by Lux partner @AGoulburn around the Nobel prize winning work of Eric Betzig who looked to the far reaches of the solar system and discovered a breakthrough imaging technique for INNER SPACE to see in REAL-TIME what is happening in cells... 
3/ I mean this technique of adaptive optics x lattice light sheet microscopy gives subcellular resolution. INSANE what this means for drug discovery when you can see how drugs work inside cells!
4/ Now add as a co-founder Robert Tjian who was head of HHMI (Howatd Hughes Medical Institute) and built and exited multibillion biotech companies...
5/ And then to really kick things into bezerk biotech mode—lets recruit one of the most esteemed scientific entrepreneurs in history...as CEO:
Roger Perlmutter —ex head of all R&D at Merck, helped lead discovery for KEYTRUDA and previously ran R&D at Amgen...

6/ And let's keep it all stealth secret for as long as we can—and launch a Series A of $148M for EIKON.
This is SCI-FI x SCI-FACT with live-cell super-resolution microscopy for drug discovery.
