{"entity":{"id":"lux-capital","kind":"company","name":"Lux Capital","aka":[],"tldr":"A New York venture firm that backs deep technology companies, from defence and AI to biology. Its biotech holdings include the AI drug discovery company Recursion and the imaging-based drug hunter Eikon Therapeutics.","summary":"Lux Capital was founded in 2000 by Peter Hebert, Robert Paull and Josh Wolfe and is based in New York (Wikipedia). Its tagline is 'We turn sci-fi into sci-fact' and its companies page mixes defence (Anduril), AI (Hugging Face, Cognition) and space with life sciences. Biology-related holdings on the companies page are Recursion Pharma (high-throughput biology and machine learning for drug discovery, which runs oncology programmes), Eikon Therapeutics (single-molecule live-cell imaging for drug discovery), Kallyope (gut-brain axis), eGenesis (gene-edited organs) and Benchling (R&D software). Lux is a generalist rather than an oncology specialist, and its page does not describe disease areas, so its relevance to cancer is indirect.","asOf":"2026-09-10","links":[{"label":"Official website","url":"https://www.luxcapital.com/"},{"label":"Companies","url":"https://www.luxcapital.com/companies"},{"label":"Wikipedia","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lux_Capital"}],"tags":["vc"],"related":[],"cancers":[],"sections":[],"technologies":[],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":["eikon-therapeutics"],"institutions":[],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":["No company on the fetched Lux pages is described as oncology-focused; Recursion and Eikon are cited as drug discovery platforms with cancer programmes known from elsewhere."],"hq":"New York, NY","country":"US","companyType":"investor","website":"https://www.luxcapital.com/","founded":2000,"investors":[],"funding":[]},"route":"/companies/lux-capital/","neighbours":{"company":[{"id":"eikon-therapeutics","kind":"company","name":"Eikon Therapeutics","route":"/companies/eikon-therapeutics/"},{"id":"trial-library","kind":"company","name":"Trial Library","route":"/companies/trial-library/"}]}}
