About Us

OncoLux is a MedTech company advancing a novel optical theranostics platform that combines multispectral fluorescence imaging and photodynamic therapy in a single integrated system to “See and Treat” cancer during surgery.

The company’s preliminary clinical focus is on applying the technology intraoperatively during resection of advanced colorectal tumors to detect and eliminate residual disease to reduce disease recurrence after surgery.

OncoLux applies advanced photonics and AI in this platform to achieve a new level of surgical visualization and targeted intraoperative therapy compatible with minimally invasive and robotic surgical procedures.

Our Mission

To improve patient outcomes in cancer resection surgery, OncoLux is pioneering the advancement and utility of optical theranostics that enables surgeons to “See and Treat” cancer in real time.  By combining advanced photonics, AI, and targeted therapy, we empower precise detection of positive margins and the elimination of local residual disease through the delivery of in-situ photodynamic therapy.

Our Technology

Enhanced optical imaging breakthroughs are poised to redefine what’s possible in the operating room, and the convergence of this new technology with AI will enable the transformation of data into actionable intelligence for surgeons. In addition, optical technologies that allow for In-Situ delivery of therapeutic solutions, combined with enhanced imaging enables a disruptive new capability to See and Treat disease In-Situ.  OncoLux is bringing together both of these optical approaches to create our LUMIS™ platform.
