We are excited and proud to announce our intention to open Luma Group’s European headquarters in Paris, on the occasion of the Choose France 2026 Summit, hosted by @EmmanuelMacron and @businessfrance.  

At Luma Group, we aim to expand on a global scale for patients worldwide, and we believe France offers a world-class scientific ecosystem, globally recognized research institutions, and a robust healthcare infrastructure.

From Paris, Luma Group can partner with biotech companies, academic centers, and clinical networks across the continent, with the goal of helping Europe become more entrepreneurial in life sciences.

We are ready to build, invest, and accelerate.

Proud to share that @EliLillyandCo signed a definitive agreement to acquire our portfolio company Vaccine Company (VaxCo) for up to $1.55B in an all-cash transaction.

We backed VaxCo in 2024 as a co-founding investor, believing early in the team, science, and potential of its differentiated vaccine platform.

VaxCo is developing next-generation EBV vaccines with the potential to address infectious mononucleosis, multiple sclerosis, and certain cancers.

Congratulations to the entire VaxCo team on this major milestone. Excited to see the platform continue advancing through Lilly’s global scale and commitment to innovation.

A medicine is more than a molecule. It’s hope, made tangible.

Drug development is long, uncertain, and humbling—but when a treatment works, the impact is deeply human.

In the age of AI, patients must remain at the center of this work.

For nearly 200 years, epilepsy treatment has focused on one goal: turning down the brain’s volume. But this approach has failed patients: many live in fear that a seizure will come at a moment’s notice.

In our recent paper, “From Blunt Sedation to Precise Disease Control” we highlight the ongoing shift in epilepsy from symptomatic control to disease-modifying therapies.

The time is now to deliver innovative therapies that give these patients the independence they deserve.

We’re excited to spotlight Aeovian Pharmaceuticals in the latest episode of Illuminations and officially welcome Aeovian to the Luma Group family.

Aeovian is targeting the root cause of seizures in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), one of the most common genetic forms of epilepsy.

Led by Dr. Allison Hulme, Aeovian represents the kind of science-driven, mission-focused company we’re proud to partner with.

AI isn’t fixing the way we make decisions in biotech

LLMs are impressive, but biology isn’t just text. It's a dense web of pathways, trials, regs, and outcomes. Treating it like a prediction problem risks repeating decades of costly mistakes.

At @LumaGroup_ , we’re building LABI: AI built for biotech:
🔍 Evidence-grounded
🧠 Network-aware
🎯 Decision-aligned
We just published a whitepaper on what real progress in AI for biotech takes.

Read our whitepaper here: https://t.co/vkHBh3osQV

[Luma Group @LumaGroup_]

LABI is the platform we long wished for—one that makes complex biotech decisions clearer, faster, and grounded in real evidence.
We’re excited to finally share it with the world.

🚀We’re excited to introduce LABI: Luma Group’s AI for Biotech Intelligence.
After 2 years of testing AI in our workflows, we built the platform we always wanted—because generic AI just doesn’t cut it in biotech.

[Luma Group @LumaGroup_]

We didn’t build LABI for generic use cases—we built it for the hard, high-stakes questions biotech investors and innovators face every day.
The kinds of questions where wrong answers don’t just cost money—they cost time and lives.
