Microbia Inc.

Microbia Inc. has amassed a large patent portfolio covering novel targets for rendering fungi harmless, disrupting communities of bacteria, and for harnessing these organisms to the task of manufacturing useful products. Well-armed with $59 million in funding and the chemistry skills to turn biological insights into weapons against infectious diseases, Microbia hopes to create new antimicrobial drugs that work in fundamentally different ways than the drugs that are available today.
