Our Expertise
Luminis is led by CEO Rachelle Jensen, recently named CEO of the Year (Singapore) by APAC Insider. Over the course of the last ten years, Jensen led the development of microbiome analysis workflows used by Luminis today to provide metagenomic insights.
Jensen led Indigo V Expeditions, a worldwide citizen sailing organization that crowdsourced and sequenced ocean microbiome samples from around the world. Tech developed includes sampling strategies, DNA extraction, and sequencing protocols used by Luminis today to provide metagenomic insights.
The group was the first scientific team to characterise the microbiome across the Indian Ocean in their Nature Scientific paper which redefined how we view the marine microbiome.
Luminis Water Technologies has a dedicated team of scientists and bioinformaticians. They are backed by world-leading experts including Associate Professor Federico Lauro, expert in microbiome dynamics, bioinformatics, and machine learning.
