More than 10 years of development and growth

A tailor-made
product for swine

In our constant search for new challenges, we developed a selective cocktail of phages to fight specific diseases in swine.

Bayer
partnership

Bayer was our first international partner who distributed our product for calves in the Latin American market.

A focus that includes human health

A research endeavor that seeks to demonstrate the safety, tolerance and efficacy of phages to treat diseases in humans.

New
High-Tech
Lab

Excited by our growth, we left behind a small lab to settle in the Innovation Center at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. A new house, loaded with state-of-the-art technology and science.

Leiden
is born

Our own epidemiological analysis platform allows us to identify complex infectious microorganisms and to find phages that can fight them effectively.

Big investments, Great partners

A large capital raise was facilitated by Kaszek and the Humboldt Fund, both prominent Latin American investment firms.

Arrival in
Brazil

We brought our tailor-made bacteriophage treatments to one of the world’s largest poultry industries.

A swifter diagnosis

In our constant optimization and improvement of processes, we’ve reduced the time required for diagnosis from one year to one month.
