Recent highlights

OptogeniX develops optical tools and equipment for neuroscience research, with a focus on optogenetics and fiber photometry. Its product range includes tapered Lambda Fibers, implantable probes, and dedicated systems such as GalvoStation and ThetaStation. The company’s Lambda Fiber design delivers or collects light along an active tapered length, supporting interaction with a broader tissue volume than a conventional flat-cleaved fiber. The company was founded in 2014 following a research collaboration involving neuroscientists at Harvard Medical School and researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia. Its equipment and Lambda Fibers are used by more than 200 research labs. These details point to a specialist research-tools business with a defined technical offering and research-laboratory customer base, while the timing of its latest commercial or organizational developments remains unclear.
