Summary
The Luminosa is a highly advanced fluorescence microscope capable of resolving signals from individual biomolecules. This instrument will enable us to decipher the structure, dynamics, and functions of elusive transcription factors that are key drivers for reprogramming cell identity. By gaining full control of cell fate decisions, we can unleash a revolution of new cell technologies.
