We redesign natural bacterial-produced nanoparticles, called tailocins, into precise and potent drug candidates that treat antibiotic-resistant infections.
Cartoon of a natural tailocin. Our software-in-development redesigns this natural nanotech into a precision antibiotic
Tailocins are nature's nanotech used by bacteria to outcompete their close kin
Our IP-protected, AI-powered platform redesigns tailocins for their subsequent development into safe and effective precision drugs
