YoungerUSA, LLC is the world leader in Non-invasive Micro-test Technology (NMT) — measuring the real-time exchange of ions and molecules between living systems and their environment. As a technology partner of the NMT alliances, YoungerUSA also supports the open imOmics and Global imOme Project (GiP) initiatives with instruments, software and services.
The state of a living system is a function of its environment and time. NMT reads this function — in vivo, in situ, and in real time.
NMT is YoungerUSA's own technology. imOmics and the Global imOme Project (GiP) are open scientific initiatives governed by the NMT alliances — our role is to build the instruments, software and services that make their measurements possible.
Fully computerized, non-contact measurement of ionic and molecular fluxes from living samples — in 1D/2D/3D, with sensitivity down to the femto level. From a single pollen grain to whole zebrafish, no labeling, no grinding, no damage.
How NMT works →Proposed by our founder Yue 'Jeff' Xu in 2014, imOmics studies the dynamic fluxes of ions and molecules at the interface between life and environment — the quantitative language of the function f in Life = f(Environment, t). Today it is an open framework of the NMT alliances.
NMT International Alliance ↗An open global initiative of the NMT International Alliance: a worldwide network of standardized, intelligent monitoring nodes building a cross-species, cross-scale, cross-region dynamic database of life–environment interactions. YoungerUSA supports it as a technology partner.
Initiative home: nmtia.org ↗Rooted in the ancient Chinese wisdom of "Harmony between Heaven and Humanity" and formulated by Yue 'Jeff' Xu, the framework of Life = f(Environment, t) extends the Central Dogma with the imOme — the real-time ionic and molecular exchanges that connect genetic instructions to macroscopic phenotypes — published in NMT Communications (2025). NMT makes the imOme measurable; the alliances' open imOmics and GiP initiatives make it a shared, global science.

Wherever ions and molecules cross a living membrane, NMT reads the conversation. Plant physiology is today's most popular field — and creative scientists add new fields every day.
