Our Mission

Unlock Biology’s Power to Sense and Respond to the World’s Challenges.

Stemloop’s Founding Story

Stemloop was founded in 2019 in Evanston, IL, by Khalid Alam, PhD, after he completed his postdoc working with cell-free biosensors in the Lucks Laboratory of Northwestern University.

Inspired by the cell’s innate ability to sense and respond to its environment, Khalid founded “The Biosensor Company” with the intention of delivering highly actionable and accessible chemical information to its customers. Joined by Scientific Cofounders Julius Lucks, PhD, and Mike Jewett, PhD, Stemloop has enjoyed a robust history of growth since its inception.

Stemloop is venture-backed, has global licensing for technology published in peer-reviewed journals, and has the team to deliver biosensing to the world.
