Founded in 2013, BioLumic is a U.S. and New Zealand-based agricultural biotech company using light signaling as a programming language for plants, rapidly unlocking Genetic Expression Traits (xTraits) for improved yield, composition, quality and health. BioLumic combines biological data, plant science and genetic marker knowledge to mediate plants’ natural genetic expression through a tailored one-time application of UV light signals. BioLumic xTraits are scalable and require no chemical application, genetic modification, facility expansion or additional input costs.
Dr. Howard-Yana Shapiro and Prof. Jeremy Hill join Prof. Mark Tester and Dr. John Bedbrook to guide real-world deployment of BioLumic’s xTraits platform.
