Quantify RNA Modifications From 1 Nanogram of Input

Lilac Biosciences builds next-generation tools to measure RNA modifications, integrity, and quality enabling faster discovery, stronger translational research, and clinically relevant insights without changing existing workflows.

Core RNA
Analysis Capabilities

Lilac’s team runs the full range of RNA analysis methods under one roof — qPCR, mass spectrometry, sequencing, and integrity assessment — so you’re not stitching together three different vendors to answer one research question

RNA Modification Analysis
RNA Modification Analysis

Quantitative reagent kits designed to measure RNA modification status with high sensitivity and minimal input. This category launches with Lilac’s RNA modification status kit and will expand to additional modification targets over time.

RNA Stability
RNA Stability

A developing series of reagents designed to evaluate RNA stability and degradation across workflows, supporting confident interpretation of RNA performance in research and translational studies.

Foundational Reagent Solutions
Foundational Reagent Solutions

Foundational reagent solutions to assess RNA integrity and quality, forming the basis for consistent RNA analysis and future translational readiness.

The Solution, Closing the Quantitative Gap

We build workflow-first RNA analysis tools that plug into the qPCR setup you already run — so you get absolute, site-specific modification data without adopting new instruments or new protocols.

Quantitative Precision

Absolute, site-specific measurement of modification status — no relative enrichment step required.

SAMPLE VERSATILITY

Detects modifications from as little as 1 ng of input mRNA, so scarce samples stay usable.

Workflow Integrated

Runs on standard qPCR and bioinformatics pipelines. No new equipment, no retraining.

About Lilac,
Our Journey

Built From the Question Every RNA Lab Was Asking

From Giuliani RNA Center, Brown University

We build workflow-first RNA analysis tools in direct partnership with academic and translational teams — closing the gap between what’s discovered on the bench and what can be trusted in a study.

From a Brown University research lab
To labs like yours.

Lilac Biosciences started as a spin-off from the Giuliani RNA Center at Brown University, where biologists, engineers, and clinicians kept running into the same wall: RNA insight was piling up in discovery labs, but almost none of it was translating into studies clinicians could use.

Applications Across the RNA Research Spectrum

Our platforms support a broad range of research and translational work — helping scientists generate reliable, quantitative RNA insight across academia, biotech, and pharma.
