NexaBiome has built up a polymicrobial library of phages based on which are best at destroying specific strains of bacteria. The technology has applications in variety of areas, and NexaBiome has previously worked in the fields of food safety, aquaculture and cosmetics.

"It has been described as the silent pandemic, so it’s creeping up on us at the moment. This investment will really enable us to build a team in the human health and continue that programme.”
