From Systems to Synthetic Biology:
quantitative understandig for rational engineering
Building on over 10 years of research funded with over 14m € by Spanish and EU grant agencies (details here), we have developed a proprietary microbial engineering and synthetic biology toolbox that underpins a novel live biotherapeutics platform.
A novel live biotherapeutic platform for treating human lung diseases
Our platform is based on attenuated lung bacteria able to expose antigens or deliver therapeutic agents in the lung in a controlled, local and continuous manner. It allows engineering of multiple genetic circuits to specifically target and deliver payloads.
