Gaia Isotopic is an EXIST-funded deep-tech company at TU Dortmund University. Its photonic sensor platform provides a holistic view of cellular metabolism in real time. For the first time, freely selectable nutrients can be tracked directly and continuously within the metabolism of living cells. While established methods capture only isolated aspects, Gaia Isotopic integrates previously separate levels of analysis and reveals hidden processes and relationships. This leads to a deeper understanding of the underlying cellular processes, opening up new possibilities for biomedical research and drug discovery. At the same time, Gaia Isotopic is developing the sensor platform into a scalable product for a growing life sciences market. The goal is to establish a new standard for the analysis of dynamic metabolic processes.
