XVIVO teamed up with Lucerna Technologies to showcase their fluorescent labeling platform called Spinach. Fluorescent labels are used regularly in research settings to bind to proteins and help observe biological processes in action. Spinach was created to mimic a commonly used label, green fluorescent protein, but to bind to RNA instead of proteins, enabling an easier way of imaging RNA processes in live cells compared to existing methods.

Principia Biopharma tasked XVIVO with creating an accurate and engaging animation that could quickly help the viewer understand their Tailored Covalency platform. The magic of Principia’s platform is the use of covalent bonding to create a ‘double lock and key’ interaction between their novel small molecules and the target.
