A novel bacteriocin treatment for bovine mastitis.
About Us
We developed our project through the eyes of dairy farmers. Our dream is that one day mastitis will be cured. By modifying the treatment and milking process, we can help eradicate a disease that has evolved and resisted drugs throughout the ages.
Through a comprehensive treatment that targets pathogens utilizing a synthetic biology approach, a customizable shell with prevention modules, and a user-friendly app for farmers, we believe we’ve done just that. Time for mastitis to moo-ve over and out.
We genetically engineered E. coli to produce 13 different bacteriocins to target common and historically significant pathogens of mastitis with greater specificity than traditional antibiotics.
