Key Benefits

Targeted Intervention

Our sRNAs are designed to silence only essential or virulence-associated bacterial genes—avoiding harm to beneficial microbes or surrounding ecosystems.

Scalable by Design

The AI engine allows rapid sRNA design across different bacterial strains or species, making Bacto adaptable to shifting agricultural and clinical threats.

Science-Backed & Field-Ready

By streamlining the pathway from laboratory discovery to market introduction, we help ensure that life-saving and life-improving medicines reach patients faster.

A Platform with Multi-Sector Impact
