About:
Locus Biosciences is using precision medicine technology to revolutionize the treatment of bacterial disease. The human microbiome includes the collection of microbes that live on or in the human body playing various important roles for health. When the balance is disrupted infections and diseases can arise. Locus is building precision medicines that target the microbiome and restore the balance. Their lead program, LBP-EC01, is a therapy designed to target E.coli infections. The cocktail therapy includes genetically engineered bacteriophages that can precisely remove E.coli in patients with urinary tract infections.
