Published

on

MILAN, May 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MGI Tech Co., Ltd. (MGI), a company dedicated to developing core tools and technologies that drive innovation in life sciences, unveiled cutting-edge multi-omics technologies at the European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) 2025 conference in Milan. At Booth #310, MGI highlighted its advanced sequencing and automation platforms, including the new mid-throughput sequencer DNBSEQ-T1+ and the single-cell library preparation workstation DNBelab C-YellowR 16, designed to enhance precision and efficiency in omics research.

Innovation Highlights in Sequencing and Single-Cell Automation

MGI introduced the DNBelab C-YellowR 16, making its global debut, which enables the parallel processing of up to 16 single-cell samples, reducing hands-on time by up to 90% while maintaining high reproducibility and precision. 

DNBelab C-YellowR 16 offers a seamless transition from cell and nucleus suspension input to the output of DNA nanoballs (DNBs) ready for sequencing.

With multiple integrated functional modules, it delivers a fully automated workflow without user intervention. The integrated 8-channel independent pipetting module handles plate transfer and pipetting across the entire process. Its  Single-cell Droplet Generation module performs cell sorting and labeling, while the PCR instrument, Magnetic Bead Purification Module, and Shaker modules facilitate high-throughput library preparation. A built-in DNA Concentration Detection module ensures rigorous library quality control (QC).

YellowR 16 achieves a truly unattended workflow – from cell sorting to library preparation, and library QC – enabling hands-free operation with stability and reliability. This groundbreaking solution addresses the limitations of manual single-cell operations, such as operational complexity, low throughput, and data variability.

To further enhance its offering for transcriptome applications, based on Xpress Genomics technology, MGI has developed a highly sensitive full-length transcriptome library preparation solution. This enables full-length transcriptome profiling from as little as 10 pg of RNA or low to 10 cells, making it ideal for challenging or limited-input research scenarios.

“We are thrilled to present our latest innovations at ESHG, a pivotal gathering for Europe’s genomics community,” said Dr. Christian Zimmerman, VP of Sales, Europe & Africa at MGI. “We’re invigorated by the remarkable momentum propelling integrated multi-omics workflows!

On May 24, MGI hosted a Corporate Satellite Symposium, featuring global experts discussing practical applications of the DNBSEQ™ platform.

Prof. Jānis Kloviņš, Professor and Head of the Scientific Council at the Latvian Biomedical Research and Study Centre, presented his team’s work on building a national genomic infrastructure as part of the European 1+ Million Genomes Initiative. Using DNBSEQ-T7 for whole-genome sequencing, his team is developing a high-resolution Latvian population reference, supporting both rare disease diagnostics and polygenic risk scoring.

“MGI’s sequencing platform has allowed us to build a national genomic infrastructure at scale and also perform diagnostic and prognostic tests,” said Prof. Kloviņš. “We see great promise in integrating these technologies across clinical and population health systems.”

Dr. Eirini Papadopoulou, International Laboratory Director at Genekor Medical S.A. in Greece, highlighted the transformative role of NGS-based multigene panels in precision oncology, enabling the identification of predictive and prognostic biomarkers to drive highly personalized treatment strategies. Meanwhile, Dr. Xin Jin, Chief Scientist and Director at the Institute of Precision Health Research, BGI-Research, presented roundbreaking results from the China Kadoorie Biobank, where MGI’s platforms sequenced over 500,000 genomes in just six months. His presentation demonstrated the power and scalability of MGI’s platforms and omics capabilities for delivering population-wide insights with global health impact.

Driving European Genomics Forward

MGI’s steadfast dedication to Europe’s genomics landscape is evident through its pivotal contributions to landmark initiatives like the European ‘1+ Million Genomes’ Initiative and the Kadoorie Biobank, underscoring its role in advancing both population genomics and clinical research.

Europe continues to be a strategic focus for MGI” said Dr. Yong Hou, General Manager, Europe & Africa at MGI, ” From national population programs to clinical labs, we’re proud to support projects that are reshaping personalized medicine and making genomics more accessible across the region. This year also marks the 10th anniversary of our DNBSEQ™ technology – now trusted in over 100 countries worldwide – and we’re excited to see it driving innovation across Europe and Africa“.

LUMIQ Raises INR 50 Crore Pre-Series B to Become the AI Decision Layer for Financial Services

Published

on

By

While most AI in financial services remains advisory, LUMIQ has built the layer that owns the decision — autonomous, auditable AI agents making regulated calls in production at leading banks, insurers, and capital markets firms. Today, LUMIQ serves clients across India, the United States, and Southeast Asia — leading institutions across insurance, banking, and capital markets.

NEW DELHI and MUMBAI, India, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LUMIQ, an AI-native financial services company, today announced a strategic funding round to scale auto-decisioning for financial institutions across the United States and Southeast Asia. The round was led by Bajaj Finserv, one of India’s largest and most diversified financial services groups, with participation from existing investor Info Edge Ventures.

Right now, thousands of customers are waiting for a policy to be issued, a loan to be disbursed, a claim to be adjudicated, because somewhere an FSI employee is drowning in decisions, held back by the risk of getting it wrong. Today, when e-commerce delivers the same day, banks and insurers still decide in weeks. We built LiteCone to take that burden: AI decides the routine cases, completely and accountably, so humans spend their judgment on the one case that actually needs it. This round lets us bring that to every financial institution in the markets that matter most.
Shoaib Mohammad, Co-founder and CEO, LUMIQ

From AI that assists to AI that decides

For decades, financial institutions have bought technology that made their people faster — faster data, faster scoring, faster copilots. The decision still landed on a human. LUMIQ is changing that. Through its LiteCone platform, the company deploys AI agents that read the file, apply the institution’s own guidelines, and reach the decision end to end — escalating only the cases that genuinely require human judgment. The output is not a recommendation. It is a decision, with full reasoning attached, cross-referenced to policy, and defensible under audit.

The results in production speak clearly. At a leading life insurer, LUMIQ’s LEO agent decides 75–80% of underwriting cases with zero human touch, reduced policy issuance cost by roughly 25%, and compressed turnaround from days to under eight minutes — running 24×7 with complete auditability. Across its client base spanning insurance, banking, and capital markets in India, the US, and Southeast Asia, LUMIQ now processes millions of decisions annually.

LiteCone turns a real financial-services role into a working AI agent in weeks. Every agent we deploy is consistent, explainable, compliant, and auditable by design — not as an afterthought. This capital lets us go deeper on the platform and broader across roles. And through our cloud and AI lab partnerships, institutions will increasingly find LiteCone already embedded in the platforms they run today.
Vaibhav Dobriyal, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, LUMIQ

This round funds four priorities: expanding go-to-market in the US and Southeast Asia; deepening LiteCone’s decisioning capabilities; extending the agent workforce across more financial-services roles; and building a partnership ecosystem with cloud hyperscalers, AI labs, and core banking and insurance platforms so LiteCone is embedded where institutions already run.

LUMIQ’s investors backed the round for the same reason its customers adopt LiteCone: agents already deciding in production, with auditability and control built in.

As a financial-services group, we know how much rests on getting regulated decisions right, at speed and at scale. LUMIQ has built AI agents that decide in production with auditability and control built in, the capability the industry has been moving toward. We are proud to lead this round and to support the team’s expansion across the US and Southeast Asia.
Lakshmi Iyer, Group President – Investments & CEO, Bajaj Alternates

Our conviction is grounded in what LUMIQ has already built. Their AI agents aren’t just built for the future. They are operating in production today, at speed. This combination is rare, and its value will only compound as the company scales globally.
Girish Jhunjhunwala, Fund Manager – PE and VC Investments, Bajaj Alternates

Financial services is one of the hardest categories to crack — regulated, risk-averse, and unforgiving of hype. LUMIQ has put agentic AI into live financial-services workflows and earned the trust of large institutions across the US, Southeast Asia and India. That is how a category-defining company in financial-services AI gets built, and we are proud to keep backing the team as they scale globally.
Kitty Agarwal, Partner, Info Edge Ventures

LUMIQ’s goal is to lead one category: auto-decisioning at production scale for financial services. Agents that act, not assist, and never compromise audit, compliance, or predictability.

About LUMIQ

LUMIQ is an AI-native financial services company. Through its LiteCone platform and a growing workforce of production AI agents, LUMIQ turns real financial-services roles — insurance underwriter, credit underwriter, claims adjudicator — into agents that are consistent, explainable, compliant, and auditable. The company pairs deep domain expertise across banking, insurance, and capital markets with frontier AI. LUMIQ employs over 350 AI and data specialists, and has offices in New Jersey, Singapore, and Delhi NCR (India).
