About Us

All about Lipids, that is LUCA AICell.

The logo of LUCA Aicell was inspired by the Lipid shape..
LUCA AICell uses Lipid technology to destroy cell membranes of viruses,
to deliver drugs to the targeted organs safely.
or to create bilayer coating for preventing contaminants being absorbed into the human body.

Cells of all living creatures are protected by cell membranes,
Cell membranes are made up of thousands of different types of phospholipids.
Through cell membranes, cells block contaminants,
and also absorb beneficial substances and moves substances.

LUCA AICell makes these cell membranes into various shapes and
has technology to destroy cell membranes with specific conditions.

LUCA AICell is a bioplatforms company which has been developing
broad spectrum antiviral treatment, drug delivery system, diagnostic/preventive
medical devices using nano-based Lipid technologies.

Through material innovation, we will contribute to the improvement of human health
and welfare by leading the world in the most technology-intensive, highly utilized
and high value-added technology application field in the bio industry.
