Lucira Health has developed an at home COVID-19 test kit that delivers PCR quality molecular accuracy in the palm of your hand in 30 minutes or less. Our technology is transforming how we reduce the spread of infectious diseases by bringing accurate, easy-to-use self-testing into the home.
This home test kit has not been FDA cleared or approved. This home test kit has been authorized by FDA under EUA. This home test kit has been authorized only for the testing of nasal swabs for detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2, not for any other viruses or pathogens. This home test kit is only authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of IVDs for detection and/or diagnosis of COVID-19 under Section 564(b)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the declaration is terminated or revoked sooner.

At EG427 our unique, non-replicative Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) based vector platform called HERMES, delivers, with pinpoint precision, highly selective, durable expression of disease modifying transgenes to address prevalent diseases in neurology.
Our lead asset EG110A, for the treatment of neurogenic bladder dysfunction, has received IND clearance in June 2024 from the US FDA. Our revolutionary approach to the treatment of this disease aims at providing patients with a comprehensive, long-term solution to their bladder management, through a highly selective molecular biology approach overcoming the drawbacks of current standard of care.
Our HQ and labs are in Paris, France, where we were founded in 2019. We have raised over USD 21 million, including from our Series A in 2021.

Applied Molecular Therapeutics (AMT), a public biopharmaceutical company based in South San Francisco, California, is committed to developing novel, oral biological therapeutics to treat severe autoimmune, metabolic and inflammatory diseases.
AMT is leveraging its propriety technology platforms to create gastrointestinal (GI)-select therapeutics that harness naturally occurring transport and targeting mechanisms to cross the protective barrier of the intestinal epithelium (IE). Once across the IE, the therapeutics gain privileged access to the immune cell-rich environment of the GI tissue as well as the hepatic portal system and downstream systemic circulation. With this privileged access, AMT’s goal is to develop transformative new oral therapeutic treatment options that offer patients greater efficacy and tolerability than available with today’s therapeutics.
AMT has a robust pipeline of oral biologic product opportunities, including AMT-101 which is currently in Phase 1b clinical development for the treatment of adults with ulcerative colitis (UC). AMT-101 is a novel, gut-selective, investigational oral biologic fusion protein of interleukin 10 (IL-10), an anti-inflammatory cytokine. Derived from AMT’s proprietary platforms, AMT-101 is engineered to cross the selective barrier of the IE and enhance localized IL-10 directly within the immune-cell rich environment of GI tissue where up to 75 percent of immune cells reside. This direct targeting of the immune system creates the potential for AMT-101 to address, at its point of origin, the immune dysregulation that gives rise to UC and other inflammatory bowel diseases, and restore immune homeostasis with minimal systemic exposure and potentially fewer adverse events compared to systemic administration of IL-10.
AMT has amassed a broad global IP portfolio surrounding its multiple technology platforms and therapeutic programs.
