INNOPHAGE LIMITED

The global rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and restrictions on antibiotic use in farming have created an urgent need for sustainable alternatives. We develop a phage-based biocontrol platform that provides safe, targeted solutions for healthcare, food safety, aquaculture, and agriculture. Our platform combines a comprehensive phage library with proprietary magnetic phage-tagging technology, enabling rapid isolation, enrichment, and matching of phages to specific bacterial pathogens. This significantly shortens the time required to identify effective phage treatments compared with conventional methods.

We also develop customizable phage cocktails, phage sprays, and phage-based surface coatings for use in food processing facilities, livestock and aquaculture production, healthcare environments, and industrial settings. These products offer precise pathogen control while reducing the use of antibiotics and disinfectants, preserving beneficial microbes, and minimising the risk of AMR development.
